finally moved the drunk Qin Shuisheng back home, and she was sweating profusely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info declined the kindness of the Qin family's aunt to stay for dinner, and slowly paced home. When he walked to the village, he saw Lao Jiu coming in a hurry with a few villagers, and his eyes lit up when he saw Yan Ning.

"Mrs. Yan, I was about to look for you."

"What's going on?"

"Last night, Ah San and Uncle Yu didn't come back all night when they went to sea, and Ah San's sister-in-law and Aunt Yu were in a hurry. How can these two big living people say that they are gone? ”

Yan Ning frowned and said, "How was the situation at sea last night?" ”

"The sea is quite calm, there are small winds and waves, and everyone has encountered a lot of them when they go to sea on weekdays. What's more, Uncle Yu's ability to drive a boat is still a good hand, so there will be nothing wrong with it. ”

Yan Ning's brows furrowed more and more, there is still no news, and the shipwreck is not big...... That's pirates.

At the moment, he quickly ordered: "Lao Jiu, you gather the people in the village and divide them into three teams." Two teams went out to sea to search, and one team searched around the shore of Changping. If there is still no news after dark, come back immediately, and do not delay. I went to Yu's house to see A-Niang. ”

Several people left in a hurry, Yan Ning sighed slightly, and ...... peacefully It seems to be getting farther and farther away. After thinking about it, I decided to go back home first, and then stop by to see Yu's family and Auntie.

When I got home, I found that my father and mother were waiting anxiously in the yard.

Seeing Yan Ning coming back, the old couple was relieved. "Lao Jiu just brought someone to you, saying that the third child of the Yu family has not returned from going to sea, and that he is here to discuss with you. I waited a long time before leaving. ”

"I just met Lao Jiu, and I heard about it. Auntie, you go to Yu's house to accompany Aunt Yu's family. She should be anxious by now. ”

A-Niang nodded and packed up her things, and hurriedly took Yuan Sheng out of the door.

Ning Yan said again: "Daddy, you don't even want to go out to sea to fish recently, I'm afraid the sea is too dangerous." ”

"You mean ......"

"Three years ago...... After all, it only repelled them, and now it's about to make a comeback. She unconsciously buckled the table and frowned, "Last time, it was a surprise that caught us off guard." Now that they are prepared, I am afraid that it will not be easy to do. ”

"The government has refused to interfere so far, how can this be good?" Daddy said with a sad face.

Yan Ning's brows furrowed more and more: "This sea area is the boundary between Nanwu and Beibei, and it is precisely because of this that no one has been under jurisdiction since ancient times, so pirates at sea are rampant for a while. But Changping Village is the land of Nanwu, which is related to the livelihood of the people, and the emperor will not ignore it. ”

"I'm afraid that the situation outside is not very peaceful, and the emperor is afraid that he will not have time to take care of here."

Yan Ning took a deep breath, looked at the sky and said to Daddy: "Daddy, now that most of the people in the village have gone out to find someone, let's go to the dock to have a look." ”

The sun was gradually sinking in the west, and the sea was smeared with great beauty. Countless people stood on the pier with torches and looked forward, and the white sails on the seashore in the distance were dotted. In the evening, the people who had gone to sea came back one after another, but there was still no news. Aunt Yu and the third sister-in-law had already fainted from crying.

Yan Ning's heart sank, there has been no movement for so long, but I am afraid that it will be more auspicious.

Sure enough, in the evening three days later, some villagers found two corpses holding on to the sea, and fished them up to see that they were really Ah San and Yu Jia's uncle. The body was already swollen, presumably soaked in the sea for a long time.

Many people's eyes were red, and the third sister-in-law and the aunt of the Yu family had already cried hoarsely. For the first time, the haze of death enveloped this small village that was safe and uncontested.

Yan stared at the endless sea under the night, and her heart was shrouded in an ominous feeling. This is just a warning from them, and the more cruel ones may be yet to come. The things of that year were also caused by her, and she was duty-bound.

At that moment, she said aloud: "I know everyone is very sad, and I personally am deeply saddened by the death of the third brother and the Yu family. But you should understand that their death should be the ambition of the pirates we repelled three years ago, who have made a comeback, and the knife has been aimed at our village of Changping. Although I have no quarrel with the world, not everyone can be bullied. Do you think so? ”

The anger in everyone's hearts had already burned, and they all roared: "Yes! ”

"Good. Only by sharing the same hatred can we once again expel the pirates and defend Changping. However, this time is different from the previous situation, and a detailed deployment plan is required. Recently, everyone should no longer go to sea alone, especially not at night. ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, but everyone's face was extremely heavy. Several people carried the bodies of Ah San and Yu Jia Abel into the village, and the rest of the people followed behind them. The long procession is like a spirit, guiding the way home for the deceased loved ones.

That night, Lao Jiu, Qin Shuisheng and several other young people in the village gathered at Yuan's house.

"Shui Sheng, you are a protégé of the Son of Heaven, immediately write a letter to the state capital. Describe the situation in detail in my Changping Village, and send it out overnight tonight! ”

"Lao Jiu, you take a few strong young people to form a patrol, and after nightfall, take turns patrolling the shore, and immediately ring the bell to wake everyone up whenever there is a situation."

Everyone received the order to go down and prepare, Yan Ning sighed, and sat in the courtyard looking at the dark sky.

She has never been afraid of death, but afraid that this land and water will be covered by killing, and it will be difficult to find the peace of the past; What I am afraid of is that the people of Changping Village will be displaced and their families will be ruined; I am even more afraid that I will watch my relatives fall again but be unable to do anything.

In this way, Changping spent three days in depression and anxiety, until three days later, Shui Sheng rode back on horseback, but the news he brought back was really bad.

"Yan Song, this person, rat eyes! This kind of person even made a parent official, Xiao Rin is really blind! Yan Ning was furious and slapped the table hard.

Everyone's faces turned pale, and it seemed that an invisible pressure emanated from the angry woman, unstoppable. Yan Ning has been in a high position for a long time, but fortunately, her temperament is restrained, and she looks very friendly. But now the anger is so strong that the majesty that people dare not look at it directly radiates from the inside out.

"Apart from him, what other officials are there in Taizhou Mansion?"

Shui Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Indeed...... There is also a Dr. Xu Wei from Guozijian...... It seems to be a return to his hometown to visit relatives. I once met him in Chang'an during the imperial examination, and I said a few words because his ancestral home was in Taizhou. ”

"If you ask him for help, will he say yes?"

"This ......," he said, geasing his head, "you can give it a try." ”

Yan Ning thought for a long time, quickly dipped her ink and pen to write a letter and handed it to Qin Shuisheng: "Shuisheng, I want to trouble you to run." I sent this letter to Dr. Xu, and said that it was a 100,000 urgent letter that needed to be handed over to the emperor. Be sure to make it clear, submit it to the current emperor Xiao Rin! ”

Qin Shuisheng's eyes were full of doubts, but he still left in a hurry.

Hopefully, it's still too late. (To be continued.) )
