Dong Rui suggested: "Where will Xue Zongwu's next stop be? If they miss Taoshui, they have to find a place to stay."
"It's troublesome." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "They abandoned Taoshui River and headed northeast. I'm afraid they are going to the ferry to take a boat!"
"Shall we go too?"
"We were going to go." Taking a boat is the easiest way.
That night, news also came about the eyeball spider that He Lingchuan secretly placed on Fan Shuang.
Changes in the Feng family in Taoshui——
The Grand Supervisor Guo, who was a member of the imperial court, accused the left prime minister, Feng Zhirao, of accepting huge sums of money and forming cliques for personal gain!
It is rare for officials to be clean-minded, especially since the Yao Kingdom is a wealthy place, and the bribes are too small to be put on the table. However, the amount Zuo Zaifu was imprisoned for was a bit large, more than four million taels of silver.
Four billion yuan, when this figure was announced, the people in the capital of Yao Kingdom became excited.
Common people can't earn so much money in ten lifetimes.
Moreover, the word "more" than four million taels is still under further verification, and no one is qualified to erase the zero.
Of course, people's attention is focused on the amount of huge bribes, but He Lingchuan and Qingyang's focus is on the words "forming parties for personal gain."
Bribery is certainly hateful, but these four words are what really offend the king's taboo.
It had been less than seven days since this incident broke out, and the people in the remote town had not heard about it, but the upper-class nobles should have known about it. Fan Shuang had been abroad for a long time, and when he asked someone about it tonight, he was shocked.
No wonder everyone dared not go to Taoshui, just to avoid suspicion in this highly sensitive period and to avoid being regarded as a "party friend" of the Feng family.
Of course Xue Zongwu would not go. There was Qingyang in the royal court who was eyeing him, and he did not want to get dirty at such a time.
…
Baitiao River, Longkou Ferry.
Viewed from a high place, this ferry looks like a wide-open dragon's mouth, with teeth like whiskers, hence its name.
The Weng brothers stood on the mountainside, looking at the thousands of sail boats racing below, feeling a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"This, so many ships?"
The Longkou Ferry is covered with canvas like a flag, and boats come and go. There are dozens of big boats and no less than 200 small boats.
"We just passed this ferry three months ago. At that time, there were at most five or six ships, right?" Weng Xing murmured, "What's the matter, if Xue Zongwu wants to go here, other officials and nobles will come to join in the fun?"
"I don't know what happened to Taoshui. They didn't go. They all crowded here to catch the boat." Weng Su's brows were about to knot. "It's troublesome, there are so many people!"
The nobles who rushed to the capital did not go to Taoshui, so they all turned to Longkou Ferry.
