Chapter Seventy-Six: Something Goes Wrong
There is indeed a wharf not far from Dangtu County, and according to Zhang Erhu, this is a wharf where goods can be escorted to Jinguo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There is an endless stream of people coming and going, most of them are some businessmen, some are local to Dangtu County, some are from Nanjing Prefecture, and even businessmen who are not far away will choose here.
The sea is choppy and the air is fresh.
Zhao Mu saw the sea for the first time, he stood quietly on the shore, feeling the sea breeze blowing.
Behind him stood dozens of East Palace guards, and a carriage was tightly surrounded.
"Qiwu, won't you come out to see the sea?"
Zhao Mu may have been too excited, and shouted for Shen Qiwu to come down as well.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Qiwu just turned a deaf ear and quietly looked at the book in his hand.
After shouting for a while, Zhao Mu saw that Shen Qiwu had no intention of coming out at all, so he had to give up. Then a look of joy climbed up his cheeks again, and he looked yearning at the endless sea.
People who see the sea for the first time are always full of yearning.
Because on the other side of the sea, no one knows what.
"Qiwu, are you really not coming out?"
Zhao Mu's voice continued to ring in his ears again, Shen Qiwu put down the book with a displeased face, and scolded lightly: "Don't forget to get down to business!" ”
Zhao Mu outside then remembered that he didn't come here today to see the sea, but to have something very important to do.
"Where's Zhang Erhu?" Zhao Mu turned around and asked his entourage.
The guards of the East Palace let Zhang Erhu, who was stopped outside the guard line, in.
Zhao Mu glanced at him, and suddenly his interest was not very high, and when he thought that things had become so cumbersome now, the joy of seeing the sea was diluted a lot.
"Lead the way, go see your ancestral home."
Zhang Erhu nodded yes, and hurriedly walked in front to lead the way for the group.
Zhao Mu got into the carriage, saw Shen Qiwu, and asked excitedly, "Qiwu, why don't you come out to see the sea?" ”
Shen Qiwu glanced at him and snorted lightly: "I don't want to see it." ”
"Don't want to see it?" Zhao Mu tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Have you seen it before?" ”
"Nope." Shen Qiwu shook his head, but he despised Zhao Mu in his heart. Not only the sea, but also on a plane! Jokes, look at the sea, children are so excited.
"Oh."
Zhao Mu immediately went down, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and became energetic again, "Qiwu, do you say that Nanjing can also see the sea?" ”
Shen Qiwu nodded, "Of course." ”
Nanjing Mansion is the southern capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is located near the sea, and there are many wharves, not to mention watching the sea, it is not a problem to take a big ship into the sea.
While he was talking, the guards outside came in and said that they had arrived at Zhang Erhu's ancestral house, but when they were far away, they saw that there seemed to be soldiers guarding outside.
Zhao Mu and Shen Qiwu glanced at each other, knowing that this matter had become very complicated.
Lifting the curtain and jumping out of the car, Zhao Mu looked at it from a distance.
Zhang Erhu's ancestral house looks very large, although it can be seen at a glance from a distance, but there are soldiers with knives and guns guarding outside.
"Let's go, let's go and see." Zhao Mu frowned, since he could see it, the soldiers on the other side were naturally not blind, and they might have already been discovered by such a large group of people.
When Zhao Mu's guards approached, those soldiers drew their swords and guns one after another, looking at them solemnly.
"What people! This is a military stronghold, retreat quickly! ”
"A military powerhouse? Joke! The leading guard of the East Palace smiled disdainfully, and his subordinates drew their swords one after another. Most of these East Palace guards are some military masters, they have really been on the battlefield, and the bloody aura on their bodies is thick, although there are only dozens of people, they can easily overwhelm the officers and soldiers in these places in terms of momentum.
The two sides were tense and full of gunpowder.
Zhao Mu stepped forward, wearing a python robe. With a noble face, he reprimanded loudly: "Lone is the prince of the Great Zhou, ask your general to come to see me!" ”
"Prince?" The soldiers looked at each other, skeptical.
At this time, a large group of soldiers and horses came out of the surrounding woods.
"I am the general here, you said that you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but what evidence do you have?"
"Bastard! Have you ever seen someone pretend to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? The guards of the East Palace were furious, and the swords in their hands were cold and shiny.
Zhao Mu waved his hand to stop his words, and took out a gold medal from his waist.
On it is written the words "as if I am coming", and on the back is "patrol for the sky".
"I bow to His Highness, and ask His Highness for forgiveness." The gold medal can't be fake, and the person in front of him is naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou.
The soldiers with his men bowed one after another and fell to their knees.
"Tell me, who made you guard here?" Zhao Mu asked condescendingly, he was not in a hurry to let these soldiers get up, he had already handled the majesty of the prince very well.
"The lowly position is to be the governor of Tu County, and it was Master Hou who took the official document and asked us to be stationed here."
Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, "Master Hou?" Is it Hou Yuan of Dangtu County? ”
"Your Highness, yes."
Zhao Mu nodded, Hou Yuan was Song Jinliang's person, so he naturally helped Song Jinliang do things. Since he was holding the official document, it was naturally allowed by Song Jinliang.
Suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Mu asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that this is a military land?" ”
"Master Hou said that the things in this house are extremely important, and they are important weapons related to the current anti-Jin. Therefore, let the lowly strict soldiers garrison. ”
"That's right." Zhao Mu touched his chin and glanced at them, "Get up, take Gu in and have a look." ”
At this time, Shen Qiwu also got out of the car, she put down the scroll and smiled with interest, naturally she also wanted to see what these important ordnance were.
The ancestral house is very dilapidated, and it can be seen that no one has cleaned it for a long time.
"The official document only asks us to be stationed, and we can't come in and check it."
Countless boxes were piled up inside, and they were even covered with dust and sealed.
"Open it and take a look."
One by one, all the boxes were opened.
Gold, countless golds.
Ordnance, even some important ordnance that has not yet been used on the battlefield, is also here.
"Are you done opening?" Zhao Mu tried his best to calm down and asked in a low voice.
"Back to Your Highness, all the boxes have been opened."
Zhao Mu already felt the seriousness of the situation, if it was just gold, it might not be a big problem, but with so many important weapons here, Zhao Mu had to be worried.
What does this Song Jinliang want to do? So much gold and armor!
"Immediately send someone to inform the Nanjing government and ask them to send someone over quickly. You block this place, and the Lone Society will immediately write a letter to the Emperor. Zhao Mu's face was heavy, and he ordered in an orderly manner, "By the way, send someone to find Hou Yuan immediately, and be sure to bring him to Lone!" (To be continued.) )
