On the pier outside Yanguan Town, small boats that went fishing were returning one after another. The officers of the Inspection Department inspected each boat and picked up a fat fish that they liked and took it back to drink. It was also a common thing.
Inspector Gan Qing Yang Gan was sitting in front of a table with a knife across the table. He sipped the tasteless tea and was about to get up to take a break when he suddenly saw a large two-masted ship approaching from a distance.
He stopped.
Since Cao Guogong Li Jinglong made a tacit compromise with the local officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the local officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang fully cooperated with him to destroy the pirates who really angered the people, and he relaxed the restrictions on coastal residents, the two-masted ships can go to sea again. Just now these
Fishermen's small boats can operate offshore and dare not go deep, but large two-masted boats can go farther. Such fishing boats should have some fresh and rare things when they return.
Mr. Gan became more interested and wanted to check the boat in person and get some seafood that he rarely tasted. The boat got closer and closer, and when it stopped at the dock, he saw that the boat was completely empty. It was not a fishing boat at all.
Mr. Jian was disappointed at first, but then he became energetic again: Now the court is very concerned about suppressing bandits. Could it be that they couldn't resist the pirates who escaped ashore?
He excitedly wanted to board the ship for inspection. As soon as the gangplank was set up on the ship, a man walked down in a hurry. He was dressed like a pirate who had been at sea for many years. Gan Qingyang immediately grabbed his sword and shouted:
"Who?"
The man carried a bag on his shoulders, looked into his arms, took out something and waved it to him. Gan Qingyang only saw that it was a waist badge. Before he could see clearly, the man put it away and looked at the situation at the dock.
Tairan asked: "Is the interrogation still so tight now? Duke Cao Guo hasn't come back yet?"
Gan Qingyang couldn't figure out where he was coming from, so he replied carefully: "Cao Guogong led the navy to hunt down the South China Sea pirate Chen Zuyi, and went all the way to Fujian. He has been gone for more than ten days. I guess he should return in the next few days, right? You
Yes..., I didn't see your badge just now."
Xia Xun took out the badge again and threw it into his hand. Gan Qingyang saw clearly that it was the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, and was even more surprised. He quickly handed the badge back with both hands and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the chief flag officer. I don't know sir."
What’s the name? Where does this come from?”
Xia Xun glared at him and said, "As long as you know my identity, there are some things you can ask about?"
He turned around and bowed his hands to the sailor on the boat, saying, "I'd like to send you all the way. Please come back."
The sailor on the ship greeted him and immediately left the shore. Xia Xun stood on the shore and watched the ship go further and further away until it was within a stone's throw. Then he sighed softly and walked away from the dock.
The prosecutor's office and the rest of the team just ignored them and paid no attention to them. As soon as he walked away, Mr. Gan let out a sigh of relief, cursed and went to find a hut for convenience.
Xia Xun knew that Li Jinglong hadn't come back yet, so he wasn't too worried. He didn't rush to Hangzhou like he did last time. He first found a tavern on the shore and ordered some food. The shopkeeper was very strange. When he got to the beach,
There are few people who don't try seafood, and people who are used to living at sea are especially fond of fish and crabs. But this guest officer is a bit strange. He guards the sea and only picks things that crawl on land to eat, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits.
The pork, beef, and mutton were all free from the smell of the sea. Seeing that this man was strong and strong, he also had a big appetite. A large table of dishes was like a whirlwind, and he ate them all, and then Shi Shiran left.
Xia Xun walked out of the restaurant and walked not far when he happened to see Li Tang's lacquerware shop. He remembered that the last time his identity was exposed on the island, it was probably Li Tang who had communicated with the Shuangyu Gang, so he walked in.
Go to the store. When he arrived at the store, he asked, but Li Tang was not there. Xia Xun had no intention of seeking any bad luck with him, and was about to turn around and leave when he saw him coming back from outside covered in dust.
As soon as he saw Xia Xun, Li Tang's expression suddenly changed. Xia Xun smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you're fine."
Li Tang's knees went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. He said in a trembling voice: "Sir, please spare my life. My Lord, spare your life. It's none of the common people's business."
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Oh? It really has nothing to do with you?"
Li Tang hurriedly swore and said: "It's irrelevant, absolutely irrelevant. Sir, I didn't know your identity, and I came to vouch for you in front of Chief Jia. Have you forgotten? Besides, you left those things in the inn.
How can the ordinary people here have the ability to get it? On the third day after you were taken away, people came to the island. The innkeeper was also familiar with them, so he allowed them to take the package and leave. Later, they came to the door again,
They accused me of covering up and covering up, so I knew the identity of your Excellency. If it weren’t for the fact that I have known them for a long time, they would almost suspect that I had colluded with you, Your Excellency, to deceive them."
Li Tang was scared and panicked, and almost burst into tears. Seeing this, Xia Xun comforted him and said: "Okay, okay, I've been fine for a long time. You don't need to tell anyone else about this matter. I
We will not hold you accountable. Where did you come from with such a dusty appearance?"
Li Tang was overjoyed and choked up and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. These days, the imperial court is increasingly concerned about arresting pirates, and business has become much lighter. The common people have nothing to do, so they went to Hangzhou with their aunt and cousin. His grandson is celebrating the full moon, and the common people have just come back.
.”
"Brother Yu has given birth to a boy or a girl?"
Xia Xun thought of the pregnant woman he rescued in a small hotel by the river. The past few months at the seaside had gone by so fast. She was still pregnant at the time. She never imagined that her baby would be one month old now.
Li Tang said: "Boy, the Cao Min and my cousin's family have told you about the adult's matter, because it is indeed not the Cao Min who ruined the adult's matter. Their family does not blame me, but they are very worried about the safety of the adult.
Your Excellency is a great benefactor to their family. The couple had a son in middle age, and it was not easy for them to seek medical advice. If not for Your Excellency's help, the child might not have been saved. When I went there this time, their whole family was thinking about it.
Sir, tell the common people later that you have survived, they will definitely be very happy."
Xia Xun thought to himself: "Without the help of my father-in-law and son-in-law, I would not have been able to successfully contact the Shuangyu Gang and resolve this matter satisfactorily. It would be a shame for them to worry so much." Then he smiled slightly and said: "Haha, I was about to go back to Hangzhou.
, I still remember where Brother Yu’s house is, I’ll just go and see them.”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
All the way to Hangzhou, Xia Xun collected news. Every time Li Jinglong achieved something, no matter how big or small, he had to be reported by Junyi couriers with great fanfare along the way. Therefore, Xia Xun knew a lot of news. Li Jinglong was chasing after Chen Zuyi.
Pursuing all the way to Nanyang, Chen Zuyi now has food and water and is not panicking. However, in terms of military strength, he is far inferior to Li Jinglong. His destination is Manchuria. With the goal set, there are only a few feasible routes left.
, unlike fighting in a small area with officers and soldiers, you can always avoid their sharp edges, so I have actually fought a few big and tough battles.
Li Jinglong chased him all the way behind, and navymen from all over Zhangquan went out to sea to intercept him. Chen Zuyi's journey back south was really hard. Li Jinglong sank a pirate ship and captured more than two hundred pirates alive. Chen Zuyi went south all the way, and was caught in the water along the way.
Under the interception of the division, two more ships were lost, one was burned, and the other was captured by officers and soldiers. According to the latest news, Chen Zuyi has crossed the front line of the Penghu Islands. Xia Xun estimates that Li Jinglong will not pursue him again.
If we go down, we should be able to return within a few days.
Xia Xun knew that Li Jinglong had ulterior motives for him and was always looking for opportunities to make trouble for himself. Fortunately, he let himself do his old job: detective spy. Although it was dangerous, he didn't have to stay by his side all the time, waiting for him to pick his own troubles.
Problem, now that the matter in the East China Sea has been successfully resolved, and the battle to suppress the sea is about to end, as long as he waits for his triumphant return, he will not be able to find his fault.
In view of this, Xia Xun decided to stay in Hangzhou and wait for Li Jinglong to return. He had an injury on his shoulder and had not recovered yet. This was a strong excuse because the slough from the wound had been removed and it was still unclear what the cause of the injury was.
If he was injured, he could make up any excuse to explain the reason for his injury and the reason for his disappearance during this period of time.
When Xia Xun arrived in Hangzhou, he first went to Yu Ren's house. The ancestors of Yu Ren's family had been officials for several generations, and Yu Ren's generation was also a famous gentry in Hangzhou. His family was well off, and his mansion was quiet and elegant, neither luxurious nor elegant.
.
When he arrived at the house and announced his identity, within a moment, Yu Ren came out happily. When he saw Xia Xun, he was surprised and said: "Brother Xia! Ah... it's Mr. Yang, you... are you okay?"
Xia Xun held two boxes of wedding cakes in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, it's been a long time. Brother Yu has a mission to the imperial court. Please don't blame me for concealing your identity and surname."
Yu Ren smiled and said: "No wonder, no wonder, my benefactor returned safely. This is really a blessing from heaven. Come on, come on, please come in quickly."
Yu Ren grabbed Xia Xun's arm and walked towards the mansion, walking all the way: "Today there is a family banquet in the mansion, Mr. Yang..."
Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, you and I are brothers, don't say anything about adults, just call me brother."
Yu Ren was a frank gentleman. He didn't care about his official position at first, so he changed his words with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's rare for me to come to my house, let's have a drink together." After that, he said to a little boy who came up to him: "Go and invite Madam.
"Bring the young master out, my son's savior is here."
Xia Xun thanked him repeatedly, and soon Mrs. Yu Ren took the child out. When she saw Xia Xun, she thanked him profusely. The couple invited him to sit down and have tea in the small living room, and asked about what happened after he was kidnapped on the island.
Just say what you can tell, and make up what you can't tell. Both Yu Ren and his wife are honest and honest people, so there is no doubt at all.
Xia Xun took the infant child from Mrs. Yu's hand again, and saw that the little boy was plump and plump, with delicate features. When he was in his arms, he neither cried nor fussed. He only opened a pair of big eyes as black as paint and looked at them intently.
Looking at herself, she is so cute and tender, and I like her very much.
He stretched out a finger and let the little guy catch it, teasing him and casually said with a smile: "Young master Ling is so cute, don't you know what to name him?"
Talking about his son, Yu Ren also smiled from ear to ear. He was thirty-one years old before he had a child. In this era, it is already close to the category of having a child in old age. The couple usually seek medical advice in order to have a child.
I also went to medicine, temples and Taoist temples, so how could I not cherish them.
Yu Ren said with a smile on his face: "Brother has already given him a name with the word Qian. A humble gentleman is humble enough to shepherd himself. Brother does not expect him to be famous and famous in the future. I only hope that he can reflect on himself and be an open-minded person."
Gentleman, that's enough."
"Qian, Yu Qian, Yu Qian..."
Xia Xunnian said a few words, then his body suddenly shook, and he almost threw the child to the ground: "God, this little guy in my arms is Yu Shaobao, right?"
