There was a sensation in Linqing, and the streets were deserted.
As the elders came to the pier and saw the huge crowds of people, Zuo Mengeng suddenly thought of a scene in his mind.
Fans pick up at the airport.
Yes, Qian Qianyi is the top star of this era.
If Liu Zongzhou is a veteran actor and Hou Xun is an academy boss, then Qian Qianyi is a traffic superstar.
The locals got the news and gathered at the pier to have a glimpse of Qian Muzhai.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Mengeng suddenly understood why Qian Qianyi was scolded so badly later.
Regardless of whether the water is too cold or the itchy scalp is true or not, when a person with huge popularity faced foreign invasion, he not only did not resist but also chose to lie down. Of course the people could not accept it.
However, some people are satisfied with this grand occasion and excitement, while others are very dissatisfied.
Zuo Mengeng's status is different now. He can follow Hou Xun, Liu Zongzhou, Cao Wenheng, Zhang Zhenxiu and others on the front line of the dock.
It would be impossible to follow Zhang Haogu, Xu Ruolin and others who came to watch the fun.
Looking at the sea of people in front of her, Xu Ruolin pouted in distress.
"I have long heard about the reputation of Qian Muzhai when I was in Jiangnan. People say that Jiangnan is very talented, and Qian Muzhai owns half of it. It is unimaginable that today I want to see him but he can't. It's a shame."
Zhang Haogu originally had no thoughts.
He is a dandy, and he doesn't care what Qian Qianyi does.
But his father strictly ordered him to come, even if Qian Qianyi might not be able to see him, he still had to come.
But when he heard Xu Ruolin sighing, he rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "If we can help you see Qian Muzhai, how would you like it?"
Xu Ruolin already knew Zhang Haogu's virtues, so she just rolled her eyes when she heard this.
"boast."
Zhang Haogu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Don't look down on people, I really have a way."
Seeing him speaking so seriously, Xu Ruolin couldn't help but feel moved.
"real?"
Zhang Haogu held his head high and was extremely proud.
"Just tell me, what would you do if we did it?"
Xu Ruolin is just like the little girls in later generations who are chasing stars. They are really willing to give up in order to meet their idols.
"Just tell me, as long as this girl can do it, I'll do it for you."
Zhang Haogu really wanted something.
"Well, my condition is... you and Zuo Er get married in the future, and when this guy can't stand me, you have to give me some advice... Oops!"
Zhang Haogu hugged his feet and jumped three feet high, just like a monkey.
Xu Ruolin is gorgeous without makeup, and she is colorful.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."
Zhang Haogu was extremely wronged.
"You still don't recognize it? The way you look at Zuo Er, it's obvious that you are full of love..."
Well, his other foot suffered too.
After a lot of fussing, Xu Ruolin finally calmed down.
"Tell me quickly, how can I see Qian Muzhai?"
Zhang Haogu didn't get any benefits at all, and walked away angrily with Xu Ruolin.
Not long after, the two of them appeared on a boat and slowly headed towards the dock.
"Everyone in the world is stupid and only knows how to wait at the pier. But we don't have to do that. Once we take the boat, we will be the first to board."
Seeing the rippling water in front of her eyes, with an unobstructed view and no obstacles, Xu Ruolin was finally happy.
"I didn't expect you to be a bit quick-witted."
On the other side of the pier, Zuo Mengeng didn't know that Zhang Haogu had taken Xu Ruolin to play with demons and moths. His vision noticed a place.
"Nian Taigong, look, it's Feng Lun."
Just opposite the pier, at the entrance of Chaoguan Yamen, under a screen, Feng Lun was sitting there silently.
The boiling sky across the river seemed to be in two different worlds from him.
Feng Lun was sitting alone, which seemed very strange in this cold winter day.
Linqing Chaoguan was originally under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with officials such as principals in charge. However, after Wanli, the emperor sent a tax supervisor to take over the power of taxation.
The Ministry of Revenue lost control of the banknotes and simply stopped sending people to take the blame.
It can be said that Chaoguan Wharf is Feng Lun’s hometown.
Why is he here today?
Are you also here to see Qian Qianyi?
it's out of the question.
He is a member of the eunuch party and wants to kill all the Donglin party, so how can he come here to support them?
As a guard eunuch, there is no reason for him to squat against a wall and bask in the sun.
Besides, in the current situation, shouldn't Feng Lun be thinking about how to survive?
Where did he get his leisurely mood?
"Don't worry about him, he's just a grasshopper struggling to his death."
Hou Xun was very casual. He just took a look and didn't care anymore.
Zuo Mengeng could not calm down, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But his understanding of Feng Lun was limited and he really couldn't think of anything fishy.
As a soldier's instinct, he looked around and saw that the pier was the same as usual today. There were many people on the shore and boats were passing by in the water. It was no different from the past.
Could it be that I am really too worried?
"coming!"
Someone shouted loudly, which made Zuo Mengeng come back to his senses. He looked up and saw a passenger ship coming from the southern pass.
Standing on the bow of the boat is a middle-aged scribe, tall and straight, handsome in appearance, wearing a Suzhou embroidered Confucian scholar's dress that sways gently in the wind, with an elegant and fairy-like figure standing out at the end.
When Zuo Mengeng saw it, he couldn't help but admire it secretly.
What a handsome uncle!
The appearance of Qian Qianyi instantly ignited the atmosphere. Everyone rushed forward to get a taste of the literary spirit of this famous man.
On the water, the small boat on which Zhang Haogu and Xu Ruolin were riding also quietly approached the passenger ship from the side.
Qian Qianyi should not be too clear about this distance.
"How about it? If I say I can let you see it, then you can definitely see it."
Xu Ruolin had already ignored her surroundings, her eyes were shining with stars, and the only person looking at her was Qian Qianyi.
Across the river, Feng Lun also suddenly stood up.
His eyes did not look at Qian Qianyi, but at the boat coming from the Huitong River in the north.
This ship is very big, with the imperial flag hanging on it, and it looks majestic.
Around the sides of the ship, rows of uniformed guards stood guard with knives, and a murderous aura rose to the sky. At this time, they were also attracted by the excitement of the dock, and they were pointing and looking over.
In the end, Qian Qianyi's boat was faster and arrived at the dock first.
After the dock was secure and the gangplank was set up, Qian Qianyi walked to the side of the ship and looked at the grand scene in front of him, his joy was beyond words.
"How can Mu Zhai be so virtuous and talented as to receive such a special experience? I have long heard that the Linqing culture was at its peak and sages came out in large numbers. This is a good time for me to ask questions and resolve doubts."
Literary men have no other skills but they are best at complimenting each other.
Such a grand battle was held in Linqing, and Qian Qianyi did not hesitate to praise it. It was really a great time for the guests and the host, and everyone was satisfied.
Zhang Zhenxiu asked: "Mr. Mu Zhai, please get off the boat so that I can come and learn from you in the late Qing Dynasty."
Seeing Qian Qianyi about to disembark, Zuo Mengeng's narrow-minded thoughts arose, and he rushed out from the crowd, rushed onto the gangplank, and held Qian Qianyi's arm.
"Muzhaigong, be careful, the water is too cold."
Qian Qianyi was stunned and thought to himself, I know the water is cold in winter, but can I still go for a swim in the water?
Looking carefully, I found that under the burly body of the young man in front of me, the expression on his face was full of weirdness, but I couldn't understand its meaning for a moment.
Seeing that Qian Qianyi was confused, Zuo Mengeng was extremely satisfied and turned around first, preparing to escort Qian Qianyi off the boat.
But the moment he turned around, an inexplicable panic suddenly rose in his heart, as if some great terror had struck him.
Zuo Mengeng didn't have time to think too much. He pushed hard and fell into the water along with Qian Qianyi.
"careful!!!!!"
boom……………………
Just as he was submerged in the water, before he could feel the biting ice water, Zuo Mengeng felt a violent force coming from all directions, rolling around him and the water.
Countless inexplicable things hit him one after another, causing him unbearable pain.
If he hadn't held his breath tightly the first time, the swirling water would have rushed into his breathing passages.
The rolling waves were beyond the power of human beings to resist, and neither could he. He could only try to control his body and gradually adapt to the situation.
I don't know how much time has passed, but the water flow seems to have stabilized.
Without saying a word, Zuo Mengeng kicked off his legs and rushed out of the water.
As soon as he wiped off the water stains on his face, the sight in front of him stunned him.
I saw that the originally bustling and bustling dock was completely gone, and there were ruins everywhere with smoke billowing from it.
Half of the flat and wide pier collapsed, and countless dead bodies lay among the bricks and stones, and many more were thrown into the water.
The pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the smell of blood formed a familiar environment for him.
All the ships that could be seen on the water were destroyed, broken wooden boats filled the river, and countless cargoes were scattered in the water, becoming ownerless things.
Zuo Mengeng was frightened. He looked around and finally found Hou Xun, Zuo Liangyu and others.
At this time, all the big guys were being protected by Zuo Liangyu and his servants, and they were fighting and retreating.
Surrounding them, there were countless bandits running rampant. They killed everyone they saw and set fire to them, creating even greater chaos.
Across the river, at the gate of Chaomen Gate, Feng Lun had long lost his composure and grace. He was waving a sword in his hand and faintly shouting something.
Looking along, I discovered that a Jinyiwei official ship had been blown into two pieces and was stuck in the middle of the river.
Countless bandits drove small boats and swarmed towards Jin Yiwei's official ship.
The Jinyi guards above screamed in panic and tried their best to resist, but more and more bandits came up.
