"Master."

An Ziyuan put down the secret message crumpled in his hand and said solemnly, "Come in."

Knowing that his master had been unhappy these past few days, An Fengchun was afraid of making any unnecessary noise and making the young master angry. He entered the house cautiously and said, "The Lin family's ship has received Mrs. Lin, her mother and her son for their return journey. We should be there tonight." Tsai spends the night.”

Thinking of Lin Ruyu's petite and cute appearance, An Ziyuan's gloom disappeared a little and said, "Go back to the temple."

"yes."

An Ziyuan stood up and asked again, "Is Shen Ge on the boat?"

"..."

An Fengchun's heart skipped a beat and he whispered, "Due to the current shortage of manpower, I only know that the Lin family's big ship has returned. We have to find out more about who is on board."

An Ziyuan snorted coldly, "We must not let him leave Xiacai alive."

"I obey!" An Fengchun came out of the house and whispered to An Jiachun and An Jiangchun, "You two go to the riverside to guard and find out whether that brat Shen Ge is on the Lin family's boat. If he is, you must not let him live. Until dawn, otherwise none of us will have a good life!"

"Yes." The two of them accepted the order.

After seeing the young master off, An Jiangchun, who had just come from Anzhou to deliver a letter, asked in a low voice, "Who is Shen Ge?"

An Jiachun gritted his teeth, "He's a brat with hair that hasn't even grown yet! If he hadn't poisoned Ju Chun and seriously injured him, Ju Chun wouldn't have died."

An Jiangchun's eyes flashed with light, and he said with indignation, "Let's kill him right now and avenge Ju Chun!"

When it was completely dark, the Lin family's ship finally docked at the dock in the north of Xiacai City, which was mostly swallowed up by the flood. After the officers and soldiers checked the vouchers and cargo manifests, the people on board could disembark and enter and exit normally.

The Lin family only sent a steward to disembark the ship to purchase additional supplies, but the master did not disembark.

On the first big ship, Fang ordered Lin Rui, the steward, "Go and tell the people of Haolianzhai who are boarding the ship with me. If anyone wants to stay in Xacai, they can disembark on their own. If the three brothers of the Gao family want to leave, you can do it from the account." Take two hundred taels of silver and give it to them."

The people who came down from the Guanyin Temple were all on the second cargo ship. There were few places to live on the cargo ship. Fortunately, the people who came from the Guanyin Temple were not too many, so they could fit in even if they were crowded.

Lin Rui got on the second ship and gathered everyone in the cabin aisle to shout.

The three tigers of the Gao family and the sixth brother Zhao Lu remained silent. The Lin family promised them benefits, and they all wanted to follow them to the safe land before disembarking.

The young couple with the child did not move. Only the old couple with the son stepped forward and saluted Zhao Rui, "I have a daughter who got married here, so we took our son to get off the boat here. Please This master will lead the way, and we will go and kowtow to Madam before leaving."

"My wife is injured and cannot see the guests." Lin Rui signaled to the servant, who took out a small purse and two oil umbrellas and handed them over. "If anyone asks about what happened on the ship, please be careful. This is my wife. Please be sure to accept my little kindness."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The father-in-law took the purse and put it in his arms. He gratefully took his family off the boat and walked to the city gate in the heavy rain.

Because there was no road leading them, they were stopped outside the city gate by the city guards, so they had to pay an errand boy to ask their daughter to come out and welcome them into the city.

The errand runner shook his head after hearing this, "No, all the houses in that area were swallowed up by the water, and not many people ran out. It's useless to go now."

When they heard that something had happened to their daughter, the two of them burst into tears. Guan Yong, who was supporting his mother, said quickly, "Mom and dad, you guys go back to the Lin family boat. I will try to find someone to find the eldest sister. No matter whether I can find her or not, tomorrow morning Let’s go to Xuanzhou with the Lin family.”

That was all that could be done. The old couple held an umbrella and helped each other back to the Lin family's boat. Guan Yong asked among the people gathered at the city gate for a long time, and finally found a missing persons stall with an oilcloth shed. After going in and asking, There was no news from the eldest sister's family, so I had to spend fifty coins to leave a message to her.

When Guan Yong was dejected and ready to return to the boat, he was stopped by a man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat before he could get out of the shed. "This little brother is staying here. I want to ask you about someone."

It was raining heavily at the moment, and Guan Yong just wanted to get back to the boat quickly, and casually said, "I'm not a local, don't ask me, I don't know anything."

"Brother, please stay." An Jiachun secretly gave him a piece of silver, "Brother, we are not asking about local matters, but about the ship."

There were countless people watching in the dark. Guan Yong immediately hid the money and said, "I don't know anything."

An Jiachun asked in a low voice, "I am from Wusha Town, Qi County. This boat came from upstream. Has it passed Wusha Town? Is there a man named Shen Ge who is sixteen or seventeen years old and tall and tall?" A very handsome young man coming on board?"

"Shen Ge from Wusha Town?" Guan Yong became more energetic and pointed out, "This... we don't know."

An Jiachun cursed in his heart, but had no choice but to give him another piece of silver.

"I remembered!" Guan Yong, who had hidden the money, said, "When I took refuge in the Guanyin Temple in the south of Haolian Village, there was indeed such a person in the temple, but he was not on the boat at the moment."

"Where could he go if he wasn't on the boat?" An Jiachun had to stuff another piece of silver into his mouth and said through gritted teeth, "This is the last bit of silver I have, and there won't be any more."

Guan Yong said truthfully, "Shen Ge went down the mountain before dawn this morning. After the big ship arrived, the Lin family sent people to search for him on the mountain shouting and searching for a long time, but they couldn't find him."

"You really didn't find it?" An Jiachun didn't believe it.

"Seriously. I've been looking for him for a long time." Guan Yong sighed, "Otherwise, it's all fate. Shen Ge will be able to board the ship after a short walk, but don't worry, I don't think Brother Shen looks like this. The short-lived ones are definitely still there, but I don’t know where they went.”

Watching Guan Yong board the Lin family's ship, An Jiachun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Ge did not seem to be short-lived. If he were on the ship today, he would be short-lived.

After the stewards of the Lin family branch in Caicheng got off the boat with several large boxes wrapped in oilcloth, An Jiangchun, who was following closely behind them, strolled to An Jiachun and whispered, "I will take the responsibility of the escort." I asked about the identity of Ma Qinglin, the head of the Anshun escort agency you mentioned, and the manager of the Lin family said that he is the only one left alive in the Anshun escort agency, and he is on the ship right now."

Shen Ge boarded the ship as an escort from the Anshun Escort Agency.

Seeing that An Jiachun didn't speak, An Jiangchun whispered, "Maybe he is on the boat, and these people are talking about the same thing. Just in case, we'd better get on the boat at night to find out the truth."

An Jiachun then spoke, "We'll discuss the ship exploration later in the night. It's estimated that the Lin family will send someone to the city later to inquire about news about the An family."

An Jiangchun was a little confused, "The An family still has contact with the Lin family?"
