The ship that stopped in front was indeed Song Feihan, but it was not Han Shizhong's direct sailor, but a pirate fleet that was subdued by Han Shizhong and listened to his moderation, the leader was called Zhu Jing, this pirate fleet was mediocre when it first returned to Han Shizhong, and after the Han and Song dynasties started the war, it grew rapidly in response to the current situation, and now it is the leader of the pro-Song privateer fleet.

Lin Yu's ship was hijacked by them and then went west into Chongming Ao, and all from Lin Yu down to the rank of prisoner, although Wang Zuo was clever and tongue-in-cheek, if he really met Han Shizhong's subordinates, he might still be able to know the benefits, but Zhu Jing was born as a pirate, and he was extremely gangster, and it was difficult to communicate. Fortunately, Zhu Jing also knew what kind of person Lin Ling was and did not destroy her coffin.

Everyone was trapped in Chongmingao, the sailors were selected to steer the ship, which was considered to be a gang, and Lin Yu, Lin An and the merchants were locked up together, eating rough grain and sleeping in a pig shed, and soon Zhu Jing sent someone to call Lin An Wang Zuo and asked him to repair the book so that the Lin family could take 50,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, and 3,000 taels of silk to ransom. Where did Lin An dare to agree when he heard this amount? Even talking too much, Zhu Jing said angrily: "What more, more!" Who in the world doesn't know that the surname Lin has more money than the emperors of the Han Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty combined! Then he ordered Lin An to be escorted down: "I'll see how long you can endure it!" ”

On the way back to the detention place, Lin An couldn't stop complaining about Wang Zuo, and Wang Zuo sighed: "Xiucai met a soldier, and he can't explain it!" If you meet Marshal Han's descendants, then maybe it's better to talk! This time, I encountered these robbers, and I was afraid that I would have to break the fortune and prevent the disaster. ”

Lin An said: "We originally wanted to break the fortune and prevent the disaster, but this Zhu Jing's knife is too powerful!" Although our Lin family is a money bank, it is not a money bank. I want to take out 50,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver in one go-I'm afraid that the Dahan Hubu Shangshu may not be able to do it! ”

Wang Zuo said: "But now there is really no other way, everything should be based on the coffin of the master." ”

Lin An snorted, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, they don't know the identity of the young master, otherwise this number will be doubled again......"

When he arrived at the place where he was detained, Lin Yu asked about what had happened, and frowned: "Our family can't afford to come up with so much money." ”

Wang Zuo said: "If you don't take it, you can't do it!" ”

Lin Yu said: "The Lin family doesn't have so much cash, and you are also a businessman, don't you understand the truth?" "Although the Lin family is known as the world, the trading of capital operation has always been filled in the east and west, and even if the Lin family can take out such a large amount of cash, it is bound to cause great harm to the family business.

Wang Zuo sighed: "Childe, we understand this truth, but that Zhu Jing doesn't understand!" ”

Lin Yu's heart moved when he heard this, he glanced at Wang Zuo, called Lin An and Wang Zuo to no one's place, and then said: "Hades is better, but it's hard to be a little ghost!" This time, if it was just in Zhu Jing's hands, I am afraid that it would not be good anyway. I think so, Lin Da's shopkeeper is perfunctory with Zhu Jing first, and he wants to keep the coffin of the head of the house no matter what. Shopkeeper Wang, you have a wide range of people, see if you can get out during this time, and send the news to Marshal Han Shizhong, and the conditions can be discussed when you get to him. ”

Lin An bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes, what the son said is reasonable, so do it." ”

Wang Zuo said: "Okay, I'll think of a way, but I don't have any way here in Zhu Jing, and it's really hard to say whether I can get out." ”

Lin Yu said: "Shopkeeper Wang should think of a way, I think you can do it." ”

Wang Zuo said: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

After he left, Lin An remembered something and said, "Young master, why did you pick up the idea this time!" You must know that I am still in charge on the surface, and if you want to make up your mind, you should tell me in private first, and I will tell Wang Zuo and them. Fortunately, Wang Zuo doesn't seem to be suspicious, otherwise you are afraid that your identity will be exposed! ”

Lin Yu glanced at Lin An and sighed: "Uncle An, you are not good at recommending people this time!" There is something wrong with this Wang Zuo. ”

Lin An exclaimed: "He has a problem? ”

"Yes." Lin Yu said: "It stands to reason that the person who has the idea now should be Uncle An, but when I spoke to you in an instructive tone just now, he didn't feel strange at all, I guess he may have seen through my identity a long time ago." ”

Lin An was shocked: "Do you think this person's identity is suspicious?" ”

"Well, something suspicious." Lin Yu said: "But I don't know his purpose yet, let's set a point." We are afraid of a little ghost like Zhu Jing, because he is unreasonable, but if there is a big person behind Wang Zuo, then things will be easier to handle. ”

While the two were talking, Wang Zuoxing rushed over and shouted: "Son, the big shopkeeper, there is hope!" I just met an old man! ”

When Lin An heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that I will really be said by the young master!" ”

Lin Yu's face showed joy, and he asked, "What?" Who did the shopkeeper meet? ”

Wang Zuo said: "I met Li Qi!" ”

Lin Yu asked, "Li Qi?" Who's that? ”

Wang Zuodao: "Li Qi is the staff of Marshal Yue Fei of the Great Song Dynasty......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin An's face had already changed: "Li Qi! But Li Qi, who is known as the Yue family's military god of wealth? ”

Wang Zuo said: "Not bad. ”

It turned out that in order to deal with external troubles, the Southern Song Dynasty court handed over the power to the border generals over the years was getting bigger and bigger, and Yue Fei and other commanders not only had a high degree of military command over the army, but also had considerable financial resources. Li Qi in Wang Zuo and Lin An's mouth is an important staff member of Yue Fei, mainly responsible for the transfer and proliferation of money and grain within Yue's army. The scale of the Yuejia army is huge, the cost is huge, if you rely only on the supply of the Jiankang court, I am afraid that you will not be able to make ends meet, fortunately, there is Li Qi in the army, the master of financial management, he uses various military expenses as the basis for operating to earn interest, and the annual income is millions.

Although Li Qi is a staff member of the Yue family's army, but because he haunts the business field a lot, the business community knows more about his name, so Lin An has also heard of him, and when he heard Wang Zuo recognize Li Qi, he couldn't help but ask sharply: "Li Qi is Song Shuai's staff!" How would you recognize! ”

Wang Zuo said: "You forgot the big shopkeeper? Before I entered the Han Dynasty, I was already active in the Han-Song border field. I also met him in the arena. ”

Lin Yu hurriedly asked: "Then what is he coming to Chongming Ao for this time?" Lin An was about to have a seizure, but when he looked at Lin Yu, he secretly screamed ashamed, and said in his heart: "Even if Wang Zuo is a spy, don't expose him now!" I've lived for decades in vain, and I'm not as good as a young man! ”

Wang Zuodao: "I don't know this, although this Li Qi is suspended in the Yuejia army, he actually has a very wide range of business, and now the border fields in Henan, Hanzhong and Xuzhou are closed, maybe he is going to the east to find business." ”

Lin Yu said: "No matter what he does, this line can't be let go!" If the news could be conveyed to Marshal Han through him, things would probably be easy to handle. ”

Wang Zuo said: "I'll try it." But if we can really ask Marshal Han, what should we say to Marshal Han? ”

Lin Yu said: "What do you say? Just ask him to get us out! ”

Wang Zuo was stunned and said, "Please let him help us out?" This one...... Childe, if you want someone to save us, you have to make a price. ”

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Offer? Do you say that Han Shizhong is Zhu Jing? Although the Han and Song dynasties were hostile, there were also pro-Song factions within the Han Dynasty, such as Yang Yingqi, the former prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the seventh general, and our Lin family. The relationship between our head and the Seven Generals, the shopkeeper Wang should also know something. If our leader's coffin has an accident here, I am afraid that the pro-Song faction of the Seventh General will become an anti-Song faction, and our Lin family will hate the Great Song Sailor to the core. So I thought that if Marshal Han could take the overall situation into account, he would be able to help us. With his high status, would he still take advantage of the chaos to blackmail like a hooligan like Zhu Jing? ”

Wang Zuo smiled: "What Childe said is true. I'll go to the event again and see if I can ask Marshal Han for help through this Li Qi. As he spoke, he walked out of the place of detention and came to a tent, in which stood a person, dressed in cloth clothes and wearing straw sandals, but it was Li Qi, the god of wealth of the Yue family's army, and when he saw Wang Zuo, he said, "How is it?" What did that Lin Gongzi say? ”

Wang Zuo smiled: "This young man is so alert, it seems that he has doubts about my identity." Then he relayed Lin Yu's words to Li Qi.

Li Qi heaved and said: "He's not just alert! And not a dime! No wonder their family is so rich! That's how it came about! ”

Wang Zuo smiled: "When it comes to being unproductive, you are no worse than him!" Looking at your outfit, if you are not an acquaintance, everyone will think that you are a penniless country man! Who would have thought that this country man would spend millions of dollars on military resources every year! ”

Li Qizheng said: "This military fund is not mine!" Don't say millions, even tens of millions, I don't dare to take a penny! ”

Wang Zuo knew that he wouldn't be joking, so he hurriedly stood solemnly and gave a salute: "Brother Li may have earned more than 10 million military funds for our Yuejia army over the years, but he can still be so poor and self-controlled, which is really admirable." ”

Li Qi replied with a salute and said: "Brother Wang ventured north, and his head was hung on the knife every day but he didn't complain, how can I keep up with this kind of courage and other people who are playing abacus in the rear!" ”

The two sympathized with each other, Wang Zuo held his hand and said with a smile: "Let's not boast about our own people, don't be seen as a joke." Speaking of business, it was really unexpected that we were captured by Zhu Jing this time, I originally planned to protect the young master of the Lin family to Fujian, and by the way, I connected with Huang Zong, I have made an appointment with Huang Zong to wait in Fujian, there is a big news to be handed over to him, but I accidentally bumped into Zhu Jing's hands. I don't know the way to this surname Zhu very well, if it weren't for Brother Li, I really don't know what to do. Brother Li, did you command this Zhu Jing? ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "No, I can't move him." I'm just here for business, Marshal Han said hello here, but Zhu Jing only said here that I am a businessman who has a lot to do with the imperial court and Marshal Han. But it's still okay to help you deliver the message. ”

"Nope." Wang Zuo said: "It's not that I don't trust Brother Li, it's just that I have to talk to Huang Zong face-to-face about this matter, or I can't say it clearly." ”

Li Qidao: "Since this is the case, I will think of a way to see if I can notify Huang Zong." ”

Wang Zuo said again: "Also, the Lin family also has to ask Brother Li to find a way to do it." First, Lin Dangjia is really good to me, and secondly, the words of the young master are also reasonable, in private and public, I hope that this matter can be dangerous. The involvement of the Lin family and the Han Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty in all aspects is extremely complicated, if the coffin of the Lin family and the young master really have an accident, I am afraid that there will be a mistake in state affairs. ”

Li Qidao: "It's not difficult to inform Huang Zong, but if you want to rescue this Lin Shao, you have to talk about Marshal Han, I am only afraid that the weight will not be enough in front of Marshal Han, and I have to make another plan for this matter." ”

Wang Zuo also knew that although Li Qi's role in the Yue family's army was great, it was the recognition within the system, and when it came to the outside to talk about his identity, his official title was not enough, so he immediately said: "Please arrange everything for Brother Li." ”

After saying that, Wang Zuo still returned to Lin Yu and Lin An, Li Qi went to the event, and the next day he heard the news that Huang Zong was in Jiankang and would go to Jiangyin in the near future, Li Qi couldn't help but be surprised, and said in his heart: "It won't be such a coincidence." So he hurried ahead and waited in Changzhou.

The next day after arriving in Changzhou, a subordinate introduced a scholar dressed in Confucian clothes and wearing a sword at his waist to see, this scholar was Huang Zong in Wang Zuo's mouth, serving as a confidential writer, and was one of the most important staff members in Yue Fei's army. Huang Zongqi is magnificent, and when he looks forward to it, like a bright moon, Li Qi is more like a peasant in front of him!

Huang Zong smiled when he saw Li Qi: "God of Wealth, how can you have time to come here to meet me!" "He is a bold and unrestrained person, although he cooperates with the taciturn Li Qi in official affairs, it is rare to speak on weekdays.

Li Qidao: "It's not that I'm looking for you, it's Brother Dajie looking for you." ”

"Brother Dajie?" Huang Zong was shocked: "Wang Dajie? ”

Li Qidao: "Not bad. "The Wang Dajie in their mouth is Wang Zuo's real name.

Huang Zong hurriedly asked, "Where did you meet him?" Did something happen to him? These two sentences were said very quickly, which shows how much he values Wang Zuonan's coming in his heart!

Li Qidao: "Brother Huang doesn't need to be nervous, although something happened to Brother Wang, there is no danger at the moment." He went to Chongmingao and happened to meet Wang Zuo, and told him about Wang Zuo's entrustment.

After hearing this, Huang Zong muttered: "After I received the news from Brother Wang, I told the marshal and went to Fujian under the pretext, but after I arrived in Jiankang, Marshal Han heard that I was coming east, and asked me to go to the Jiangyin camp and wanted to inquire about the battle situation in Henan and Jingbei. I was worried that Jiangyin and his entourage would miss the agreement with Brother Wang, but I didn't want him to have such an accident at the mouth of the Yangtze River! ”

Li Qidao: "Then what is Brother Huang going to do now?" ”

Huang Zong thought for a while and said, "Since Brother Wang is here, I won't go to Fujian." I will also take over the affairs of the Lin family. When I rescue them, I will try to reunite with Brother Wang. ”

Li Qi said: "Okay! The clues of Chongmingao are left to you, and I will go back first. The war in the north is raging, and I am afraid that the marshal is waiting for my money. ”

He said goodbye, and he didn't say much politely, Huang Zong didn't care, and after taking over Li Qi's subordinates on the Chongmingao line, he sent someone to secretly inform Wang Zuo, but he came to Han Shizhong's Jiangyin camp first.

Han Shizhong's main task was originally to deal with the threat from the sea, but after Xuzhou changed hands, the people in the north and south of the Huai River panicked, and Han Shizhong had a little more on his shoulders for the threat from the north. At this time, Wang Shu and the Wu brothers were in the northwest, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong were in the southeast, Yue Fei was in the center, and in order to resist the Han Dynasty, the eastern, central, and western armies must work together.

When Huang Zong saw Han Shizhong, he was walking barefoot on a warship that had just been launched, braving the cold wind to inspect, and when he heard that Huang Zong had come, he hurriedly hugged his fists on the deck and said: "I didn't know that Huang Zong would arrive today, it's rude!" ”

Huang Zong looked at Han Shizhong's bare feet and said with a smile: "Humane southerners ride boats, northerners ride horses, and heroes who don't want Shaanxi to ride the wind and waves." ”

Han Shizhong laughed and said: "Riding a horse is just a matter of beating your mother's womb, and as for sailing, it's not all for state affairs!" Huang Confidential, shall we talk in the camp, or will we just go to the ship to talk? ”

Huang Zong said with a smile: "When you arrive in Jiangdong, how can you not get on the boat!" He also took off his shoes, stepped barefoot on the deck, and followed Han Shizhong to the conference cabin.

After drinking a round of tea, Han Shizhong didn't say anything else, and said straight to the point: "Huang Secret, since the Han and Song Dynasty wars, Yue Shuai has been defeated in even battles, and now there are rumors everywhere in Jiangnan that Huguang is in danger, and some people say that the Wu brothers are secretly communicating with Liu Qi, just waiting for Huguang to lose and open the door of the two rivers to welcome the Han army south." If it really comes to that time, there will be no need to fight this battle in Jiangnan. However, I don't dare to believe these hearsay, Huang Confidential has been in Huguang and Henan for a long time, and there will be real news to tell me. ”

Huang Zong said with a smile: "As long as there are no flaws in the east and west wings, there will be no danger in the middle lane." ”

Han Shizhong sneered: "Is there any danger? I'm afraid Huang Confidential is talking too much! Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival Bozhou accident, the North Dynasty declared war to the south, crossed the river in September, broke the Bianbian in October, the momentum of the Jin soldiers on that day was not as fierce as today, and the defeat of Jingkang was not as good as today's disease, in just a few months, the Han army had done its best in Henan, forced to Xiangdeng between. If it weren't for the defeat and retreat so quickly on the Henan side, Xuzhou might not be able to keep it, if Zhang Jun can support him in Xuzhou, I won't have to worry about things in the north on the Jiangyin side. ”

Huang Zong smiled slightly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. As long as the main force in the middle lane is maintained, the land of Henan, one victory can be restored. ”

Han Shizhong frowned and said, "Huang Confidential! I've heard a lot that you're a person who understands military strategy, but I don't want to listen to you! ”

When Huang Zong heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "In front of Han Shuai, how dare you be presumptuous? However, the lowly position is not a lie! In fact, if it weren't for the fluctuating hearts of the people in the southeast and the lack of patience of the princes of Jiankang, I really want to persuade Yue Shuai to pull the Han army to Dongting and Chibi to fight! ”

This sentence was even more exaggerated than Fang Cai's sentence, but Han Shizhong was silent after hearing it, and said for a long time: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
