Chapter 252: The Wrath of Lord Hou
The four giant ships disappeared, leaving Sai Jianglong and others looking at each other. They only wanted money rather than their lives, and they achieved black and white. The pirates who were left alive had not yet reacted. Sai Jianglong and Heishui spoke. Inside the pirates
Someone is a traitor.
Now everyone needs to force the traitor out and catch him, otherwise Tsim Sha Island will be exposed next time, and everyone will be done with it by then.
The pirates who returned to Tsim Sha Island told the story of their previous experiences, and told it to the third master, Zhi Duoxing, who had stayed on the island. After hearing this, he couldn't help but froze in place.
Then unanimously decided to find the traitor.
…
Ling Xin'an returned to Jiangzhou City, and the first thing she did was to send an urgent letter to Wu Guangxian, telling him that someone was plotting against her in the Great Zhou Navy and that she needed to hand over the murderer and find out the real culprit behind the scenes.
After Wu Guangxian received Ling Xin'an's flying letter, he immediately felt relieved and immediately replied to the urgent letter.
Sure enough, the person who attacked him from behind that day had committed suicide, and the person who was rescued by Ling Xin'an had also been killed. The battle was fierce at that time, and only a few people saw it was the guards who were sent to him who took action, but after the war, they were found
They had been silenced at that time, and the real murderer behind the scenes could not be found.
The fact that Ling Xin'an was captured has long been circulated among the officials in the capital. The fact that the only Marquis today was caught by pirates while out at sea had been circulated two months ago, no matter how much the Marquis's house didn't want to
He is fair, but many people want to see his scandal.
So when Ling Xin'an stepped into the capital and learned that the Marquis had returned to his hometown, the discussion started again.
"The Marquis was kidnapped by pirates and spent a lot of money to redeem his body."
"I heard it cost tens of millions!"
"It's really rich!"
"That's right, if we don't have money, I think the only marquis in Zhou Dynasty will be gone!"
"Didn't you say that the Marquis is a man of both civil and military skills? Why was he kidnapped by pirates?"
"You are all bragging. If you are really good at both civil and military skills, how could you be captured by a mere pirate?"
"That's right, I've told you a long time ago that this Marquis is not a good person!"
"Well, no matter how you are not a good person, how can you get so much money if someone has offered tens of millions to redeem it?"
"Okay, stop talking. Didn't you see that their butler came out?"
"No more, no more..."
The whole capital is talking about whether the Marquis is back, but half a month has passed and he still hasn't shown his face, and there is no news about the properties owned by the Marquis as always. Many people went to Daoxianglou and Yuanweixuan to inquire around.
The news about Mr. Hou is that Mr. Hou is recovering from his injuries.
"I can see where there are injuries. I feel so embarrassed that I don't dare to show my face!"
"that is!"
On the contrary, in the Marquis's Mansion, no official came to inquire after Ling Xin'an came back. It's right to think about it. Ling Xin'an has always been alone. Except for the people from the Ling Mansion who asked, Ling Xin'an was really the same as before.
Normally, I have no friends except writing love letters.
It was already the end of July, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. The weather slowly faded away from the heat and became much milder. Ling Xin'an also exhaled a breath of turbid air in the morning, and all the spiritual veins in the body were completely integrated.
It has been more than a month since he came back, and the python dragon did not appear. Jiang Jian sent a letter, and Jiang Xiaoyu's appearance put all this on his head. From the beginning, he led the crowd to make trouble on the island and continued to make trouble in Ling.
The whisper in Xin'an's ear and everything that happened after that was so coincidental that no one doubted him.
Xiaojiangzhou has also sent a letter saying that all the silver has arrived safely. With this batch of gold and silver, Xiaojiangzhou can be developed more quickly. After all, Xiaojiangzhou is a very large overseas island. During the development process, different tribes were discovered. Now
What they have to do is to unite more tribes to establish a strong government office for unified governance.
Ling Xin'an once again secretly sent nearly ten thousand people to leave quietly. These people were just to help people like Lin Wei manage Xiao Jiangzhou.
When Ling Xin'an's figure once again walked in the streets and alleys of the capital, pedestrians looked at him in surprise. The Marquis finally went out. Many people had almost forgotten that the Marquis had been captured. When they saw him again, they couldn't help but steal.
Whisper.
"I have met the Marquis!" Master Zhengyuan, the host of Baoen Temple, saluted.
"I've met the abbot!" Ling Xin'an also saluted: "I've been disturbed a lot today!"
"The gate of Buddhism is always open to introduce people to the world so that they can come back to the other side as soon as possible!" Master Zhengyuan said.
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Ling came here to burn incense this time. I would like to thank Buddha for blessing me and allowing me to escape from the thieves!"
Master Zhengyuan was stunned and watched Ling Xin'an seriously adding incense to the Buddha's head.
"I heard before that if you pray, you have to fulfill your wish when it comes true. Maybe the Buddha heard my wish, so I was able to escape from the thieves."
"I wonder what kind of wish the Marquis made?"
"I said that if I could escape from the pirates, I would definitely offer incense to the Buddha when I returned to the capital. It seems that the Buddha heard my words, so I'm here to fulfill my wish!"
"Amitabha!" Master Zhengyuan called out the Buddha's voice, lowered his eyebrows and began to chant sutras. He was too lazy to say any more nonsense like Ling Xin'an.
"By the way, abbot, let me ask you a question." Ling Xin'an asked.
"Master Marquis, please tell me."
"Where is the main sect of Buddhism?" Ling Xin'an looked at him and said with a faint smile.
Master Zhengyuan's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Ling Xin'an and said calmly: "Hasn't Master Hou heard of it? There is only one Buddhist sect in the world. Where is the sect?"
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "I heard that Xizhou Lingshan is the holy land of Buddha and Bodhisattva. I wonder if Abbot has heard of it?"
"The poor monk has never heard of it!" Master Zhengyuan said.
"That's right, these are just unofficial histories of the mountains and villages!" Ling Xin'an said with a smile and said goodbye.
Looking at Ling Xin'an leaving, Master Zhengyuan slowly opened his eyes.
…
When Ling Xin'an returned to the Marquis's Mansion, she was surprised to find Eunuch Zhao waiting for her in the mansion. Seeing this, Ling Xin'an quickly went up to salute.
"My father-in-law is here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Ling Xin'an quickly confessed: "I don't know what my father-in-law needs you to come to in person. If you have anything to do, you can just tell others!"
Eunuch Zhao, with fair hair and shiny eyebrows, looked at Ling Xin'an and said, "I don't dare, you are the Marquis!"
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "My father-in-law made fun of me. You still don't know what I am like?"
"So you went to the Zhou Navy to create trouble for Wu Guangxian?" Eunuch Zhao said.
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "How dare I, boy? It's because I have never been to the sea, and then I wanted to take a look. By the way, I also wanted to see how the training of the Great Zhou Navy was going. But I didn't expect that someone would attack me on the boat."
"Did you know that if you do this, many people are impeaching you?"
"I know, but since I'm here, I have to go and have a look. Wu Guangxian was forced by His Majesty to confess me under the main hall. If it doesn't have any effect, I can't explain it." Ling Xin'an said.
"But the dignified Marquis was captured by pirates and needed a ransom to rescue him. Dazhou's face has been completely lost. All the civil and military officials are clamoring to take back your reward!" Eunuch Zhao said.
"Do you want to withdraw the title of Marquis? They can take it if they like it. I don't dare to be interested in this. You can demote me to a commoner, but I bought this house. Your Majesty has no right to take it back!" Ling Xin'an
road.
"Do you want His Majesty to go back on his promise?" Eunuch Zhao's face darkened.
Ling Xin'an saluted and said: "For the sake of Zhou's face, Your Majesty won't have to chop off my head to make you think that my capture didn't happen, right?"
Eunuch Zhao choked and was speechless.
"Besides, the reason why I was able to come back safe and sound, kid, was because I earned real money. Why, those people standing in the temple are just doing it because of their face?" Ling Xin'an said coldly.
Eunuch Zhao opened his eyes and said calmly: "The imperial court has its own rules. If you are angry, that is your business. But now they are forcing you so much that they have left the problem to your majesty. What do you think we should do?"
Ling Xin'an sneered and said: "What problem is thrown to your majesty? Does your majesty feel that I have humiliated the great Zhou Dynasty? Or do the ministers feel that your majesty rewarded me with a marquis, and they are jealous?"
Eunuch Zhao was startled, but remained silent.
"A group of mediocre ministers know how to do these dirty things in the main hall all day long. Have they ever considered the situation of my great Zhou Dynasty? Surrounded by enemies on all sides, and being attacked and bitten by five barbarians all the time, if it were not for my great Zhou generals to protect our family,
In this country, those people can still enjoy the peaceful life they have today?" Ling Xin'an couldn't help but said angrily.
"Boy, you are so angry! What? Did Dazhou treat you badly?"
"What's going to happen?" Ling Xin'an said without fear: "If those people really want to target me, then please go back and report to Your Majesty, allowing me to go to court from now on. Since they want to impeach me, then let me face them directly.
Why should they displease His Majesty and your father-in-law?"
"Why, are you blaming His Majesty for making you a marquis in name only?" Eunuch Zhao sneered.
Ling Xin'an shook her head: "The names of your Majesty's vassals are not important. What is important is why are there still people targeting me everywhere? There are people on board the general who want to assassinate me? Could it be that my father-in-law also thinks that I can't stand on the bow of the ship and fall off on my own?"
Fell into the sea and got caught by pirates?”
"Is this serious?" Eunuch Zhao was surprised and his eyes flashed with strange color.
"Although the boy's strength is not as strong as my father-in-law, he is not even inferior to an ordinary soldier. If so, wouldn't it be a joke for me to send the sword to Xianqingmen alone?" Ling Xin'an sneered.
"Are you angry?" Eunuch Zhao said with a smile when he heard this: "Your Majesty brought this old slave here just to ask you some things about Wu Guangxian. You must know that Your Majesty can still trust you."
"Nothing can happen to Wu Guangxian, at least it can't happen now!" Ling Xin'an said angrily: "Let's not talk about his personality, but there is no doubt that he cares about Da Zhou, and I am also deeply aware of his ability.
Because of his feelings, someone placed subordinates under his name. To put it bluntly, except for His Majesty, let’s eradicate all the others that can be eradicated!”
As soon as he said these words, Eunuch Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Boy, you really dare to say that!"
