On the wharf outside Yanguan Town, the small boats that went out to sea to fish returned one after another, "The officials of the Inspection Department checked the boats one by one, and copied a fat fish that looked pleasing to the eye and went back to drink, which was also a common thing.

Inspector Gan Qingyang Gan sat at a table, with a waist knife across the table, and smacked the tea that had been drunk without taste, "Just as I wanted to get up to make it easier, I suddenly saw a big brig coming from afar, and I stopped when I boarded."

Since Cao Guogong Li Jinglong made a tacit compromise with the local officials of Jiangxi, and the local officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang fully cooperated with him to exterminate the pirates who were really angry with the people, "and he relaxed the restrictions on coastal residents, the brig can go to sea again, so that these fishermen's small boats can operate in the offshore waters" dare not go deeper, but the brig ships can go farther, and the return of such fishing boats should have some fresh and rare goods.

Lord Gan's interest came up, and he wanted to check the boat himself and get a few seafood that is rarely tasted. The boat got closer and closer, and when it came to the dock and stopped, he saw that the boat was empty, and it was not a fishing boat at all" The inspector was disappointed at first, and then his spirit was lifted: Now the wind of the imperial court to suppress bandits is very tight, isn't it that the pirates who can't hold back and have fled ashore?

He excitedly wanted to board the ship to check "the gangplank on the ship, but a person walked down with grace" The dress, no matter how it looks, it looks like a pirate who has been at sea for many years, Gan Qingyang immediately grabbed the waist knife and shouted: "Who is it?" ”

The man carried a burden on his shoulders, leaned into his arms, and took out something and raised it towards him, Gan Qingyang only saw that it was a waist card, and before he could see it clearly, the man put it away, "Look at the situation at the dock, and calmly asked: "Is the inventory still so tight now?" Cao Guogong hasn't come back yet? Even Qingyang couldn't figure out where he came from, and replied cautiously: "Cao Guogong led the sailors to chase and kill the South China Sea thief Chen Zuyi, and went all the way to Fujian, and he has been walking for more than ten days. You're ......, and I didn't see your waist card clearly. Gan Qingyang saw clearly that it was the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, and he was even more surprised in his heart, and hurriedly returned the waist card with both hands, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the general flag lord, I don't know what the adult is called, this is ...... Where did it come from? Xia Xun glared at him and said, "Just know my identity" There are some things that you can inquire about? He turned back to the sailor on the ship and bowed his hand, and said, "There are a few people who will send you all the way, so please go back." ”

The sailors on the boat greeted him, "Go off the shore immediately" Xia Xun stood on the shore, watching the ship drift away, until a stone's throw away, then sighed softly, and walked away from the dock, "Treat the inspection department and the team as air" and ignored them at all. As soon as he walked away," Gan snorted, "scolding and going to find a thatched house."

Xia Xun knew that Li Jinglong hadn't come back yet, so he wasn't very anxious. He didn't rush to Hangzhou like he did last time, "first found a tavern on the shore and ordered some food to eat." The shopkeeper is very strange, "to the beach" few people do not taste seafood, "people who are used to life at sea" are not happy with fish and crabs, but this guest officer is a little strange, guarding the sea, picking things to eat on land, what chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs, cattle and mutton, not at all seafish. Look at this man is born strong, and this amount of food is also large" A large table of dishes, like a whirlwind and clouds, was eaten by him, and then Shi Shiran left.

Xia Xun walked out of the restaurant and walked not far "I happened to see Li Tang's lacquerware shop, and remembered that the last time I lost my identity on the island, it was this Li Tang and Shuangyu Gang Si had a message, so he walked into the store. When he arrived at the store and asked, Li Tang was not there, and Xia Xunyuan had no intention of looking for him, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw him coming back from outside.

As soon as he saw Xia Xun, Li Tangdeng's face changed greatly, and Xia Xun smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, don't come unharmed." Li Tang's knees weakened, he almost knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, don't concubine grass people."

Xia Xun smiled: "Oh? Is it really irrelevant to you? Li Tang hurriedly swore and said: "It's irrelevant, it's absolutely irrelevant." My lord, I didn't know your identity, and I was still protecting you in front of Leader Jia, have you forgotten? Besides, if you put that thing in the inn, how can the grass people have the ability to get it? On the third day of your absence, people came to the island, and the innkeeper was also familiar with them, so they took the adult's package and left. Later, they came to the door again and accused me of covering up, and I found out the identity of the adult, and if it weren't for the fact that I had known them for a long time, they would almost suspect that I had colluded with the adult to deceive them. Li Tang was scared and panicked, tears were about to fall, Xia Xun saw this, but comforted: "Okay, okay, okay, this official has been fine for a long time, you don't have to tell others about this matter, this official will not hold you responsible." Where did you come from? Li Tang was overjoyed, choked up and said, "Thank you for your kindness." These days, the court is arresting pirates, and the business is much lighter, and the grass people have nothing to do, so they went to Hangzhou with their aunt and cousin, and his grandson has passed the full moon, and the grass people have just returned. "Brother Yu has already given birth? Boys and girls? ”

Xia Xun remembered the pregnant fu she saved in the small hotel by the river, it was so fast to be at the beach for a few months, she was still pot-bellied at that time, and she couldn't think that the child was over the full moon now, Li Tang said: "Boy." The grass people and their cousin's family have all said about the adult's business, because it is not the grass people who have spoiled the adult's business, and their family does not blame me, but they are very worried about the safety of the adult, and the adult is the great benefactor of their family. Their husband and wife are middle-aged, it is not easy to seek medical advice, if it is not for the adults to rescue, the child is afraid that it will not be saved, I went this time, their family is reading the adult, and the grass people will tell them the news of the adult's survival, "They will be very happy." ”

Xia Xun said in his heart: "If it weren't for the help of the Yu family's son-in-law, I wouldn't have been able to contact the Shuangyu Gang smoothly and solve this matter satisfactorily." Then he smiled and said: "Hehe, I was about to go back to Hangzhou, I still remember where Brother Yu's house was, I went to see them and left." ”

All the way to Hangzhou, Xia Xun collected news all the way, Li Jinglong every time he won "no matter whether it is a big victory or a small victory, the military post messenger will spread it along the way with great fanfare, so a lot of news Xia Xun can know, Li Jinglong is chasing Chen Zuyi closely, all the way to Nanyang to chase down, Chen Zuyi now has food and water, not panicked, but if you talk about troops, it is far less than Li Jinglong, his destination is in Manthorn, the goal is set, and there are only a few feasible routes left, "unlike fighting with officers and soldiers in a small area" can always avoid its edge So the big battles have really been fought a few times.

Li Jinglong chased all the way behind, and there were sailors from all over Zhangquan in front of him who went to sea to intercept them, Chen Zuyi's way back to the south was really hard, Li Jinglong sank a pirate ship, and captured more than 200 pirates alive, "Chen Zuyi went all the way south" under the interception of the sailors along the way, and lost two ships, "one was burned" and one was captured by officers and soldiers, in the latest news, Chen Zuyi has passed through the blockade line of the Penghu Islands, Xia Xun estimates that Li Jinglong will not chase down again, "he can return within a few days."

Xia Xun knew that Li Jinglong had ill intentions about him, and he had been looking for an opportunity to find his own troubles, "Fortunately, he let himself do his old job: detective and espionage, although it is dangerous", but he doesn't have to stay by his side all the time, waiting for him to find his own faults" Now that the matter of the East China Sea has been successfully resolved, the battle to suppress the sea will end soon" As long as he waits for him to return triumphantly, he will not be able to find his own fault.

In view of this, Xia Xun decided to stay in Hangzhou and wait for Li Jinglong to return. He had a wound on the shoulder, and he hadn't made up a good idea, which was a powerful excuse, because the wound had been torn away, and he couldn't see how he was injured now, so he could make up a random excuse to explain the reason for his injury and the reason for his disappearance for some time.

Xia Xun arrived in Hangzhou and went to Yuren's Mansion first. Yu Ren's ancestors have been officials for several generations, and Yu Ren's generation is also a famous gentry in Hangzhou, and his family is well-off, "the mansion is quiet and elegant, not luxurious, but also elegant."

When he arrived at the house to report his identity, after a while, Yu Ren came out excitedly, and when he saw Xia Xun, he was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Xia! Ah, "It's Lord Yang" You, are you safe and sound? ”

Xia Xun carried two boxes of happy cakes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, it's been a long time." The brother is on the mission of the imperial court, "I concealed my identity and surname from my brother a while ago", please don't blame. ”

Yu Ren smiled: "Don't blame, don't blame" The benefactor returned safely, this is really a blessing to invite heaven, come on, come in, please come in quickly.

Yu Ren grabbed Xia Xun's arm and "went to the house" and walked all the way: "Today, there is a family banquet in the house, Lord Yang ......"

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, you and my brother have a relationship, and don't say anything about adults, just call me brother." ”

Yu Ren is an honest gentleman, and he didn't care about his official status, so he smiled and changed his words: "Okay, good, it's rare for my brother to come to the door, let's eat and drink together." As he spoke, he said to a little boy who greeted him: "Go and ask Mrs. to take the young master out, my son's savior is here." ”

Xia Xun thanked again and again, and after a while, Mrs. Yu Ren hugged the child and came out, and when she saw Xia Xun thanked her again and again, the husband and wife invited him to sit down in the small living room to eat tea, and asked about the situation after being taken to the island.

Xia Xun took the infant child from Mrs. Yu again, and saw that the little guy was born full of heaven, with beautiful eyebrows, and he didn't cry or make trouble in his arms, but only opened a pair of big black eyes like paint, and looked at himself fixedly.

He stretched out a finger, let the little guy grab it, teased him, and said with a casual smile: "Ling Gongzi is so cute, don't you know if you can choose a name?" ”

Talking about his son, Yu Ren also smiled from ear to ear, "He is thirty-one years old, and he has a child, and he is close to the category of old age in this generation.

Yu Ren smiled and said: "Brother Wei has already chosen a name for him, and his single name is a humble character." A humble gentleman, humble and self-shepherd, as a brother, he does not expect him to be noble and well-known in the future, but only hopes that he can be self-conscious, "It is enough to be a frank gentleman." "Qian, Yu Qian, Yu Qian......", Xia Xun thought two sentences, his body suddenly shook, and he almost threw the child on the ground: "God, this little guy in my arms, won't it be Yu Shaobao?" ”@。
