"Second master, what song is singing over there?" Chen Bao listened with his ears tilted.

Cui Yiting felt that it was the scene of spring and March, and it suddenly became a cold winter wax moon, but he sang a few crooked tunes, he grew so big, he had never heard such a way of singing, he had heard Miss Yao Qi speak, but it was a pity that the good voice of that handful, how to sing the song was crooked, Cui Yiting hesitated and wanted to return to the cabin.

After discussing with the staff for a day, he finally came out to breathe, and it was not bad to catch up with the scenery on both sides of the strait, so he was really reluctant to go back, so he could only sit down and endure it.

Chen Bao didn't know how to listen to the song, and he didn't know how the song was sung, but he turned his head to look at the second master with a look of enjoyment, it must be good.

Miss Yao Qi is really good, he has seen it from a distance, she is beautiful, and she sings well, and Chen Bao also sat down to listen to it.

Cui Yiting glanced at Chen Bao lightly, Chen Bao smiled, "Second master, you listen, it's really good, but it's a pity that you only sing two sentences, and you can't hear it clearly." ”

Cui Yiting pulled his lips, the people he met today were really good, one couldn't sing, the other couldn't listen, Cui Yiting closed his eyes, fortunately, this song didn't upset him, the breeze blew past his face, leaving a little bit of refreshment.

……

In the capital, Cui Shirong listened to his subordinate Tang Shilang carefully advised.

"Nan Zhili's side asked Lord Shangshu if he knew."

Cui Shirong lifted his eyelids, "Do you think I know?" ”

Tang Shilang hurriedly smiled, "Cui Yiting is a disciple of the Cui family, how can he not let Lord Shangshu know about the imperial history of the patrol, it's just." Lord Cui Yiting didn't know if he was instigated by others, but this time the case was investigated a little more ruthlessly, not only arresting Taixing Zhixian. also held the handle of the Shou family, and had already implicated Lord Wang Zhengru, the prefect of Taizhou, Lord Wang must have been in a hurry, a few horses died on the road, and he almost died of exhaustion before sending the news back to Beijing. ”

Since Nan Zhili investigated, this matter could have been big or small, and the implication was too great. Everyone is eating in the same pot, and no one dares to say whether they will be the next to go to prison.

"Lord Shangshu wants to give his subordinates a reassurance," Tang Shilang's voice was worried. "When Master Cui really enters Beijing, what are we going to do?"

Cui Shirong stood up and walked to the window, "We can do whatever the case does, we will count the rice every year." The rice and grain were sent to the imperial court's treasury. didn't put half a grain in his pocket," he said, looking at Tang Shilang, "Even if anyone is in a hurry, Tang Shilang shouldn't be in a hurry." ”

Saying this, Lord Shangshu was thoughtful, and Tang Shilang's heart finally landed.

The Cui family sent Tang Shilang away, and a person walked out of the screen in the back.

"Second brother," Cui Shichang's square face was full of anger. "Is this true? Yiting didn't tell you that he was appointed by the emperor to patrol the imperial history? ”

Cui Shirong shook his head.

"It's the other way around," Mr. Choi raised an eyebrow. "Even if he becomes an important minister of the emperor's trusted court in the future, he is also our Cui family, not to mention that he is just a patrol of the imperial history, so it is rampant, I will ask people to send a letter to the eldest brother, and see this rebel who the eldest brother will not forgive."

Cui Shirong had no anger on his face, sat down and took a sip of tea, "He is young, he has not passed the imperial examination, he relies on Zuyin, I am afraid that he does not know how to do things, and it will be too late to suffer losses in the future, and I will not be able to explain in front of my eldest brother." ”

Cui Shichang sneered, "Second brother don't worry, if something happens, he is the one who has no face, and the eldest brother can't say a word, not even a jinshi, just thinking about being an official, I am ashamed of him...... "What's more, everyone knows that the eldest brother doesn't care about this son, and what he really likes is the younger son."

Cui Shichang gasped for breath, "What should Wang Zhengru do over there?" ”

Cui Shirong doesn't care, if Wang Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what he wants to do, that's his business, whether it is done or not, he can collect this tail.

What can Cui Yiting do? If he can return to the capital alive, he will teach this nephew what it is, and accept it when he sees it.

"Yiting is getting closer and closer to the capital now, right?"

Cui Shichang said: "Counting the days, it should be a small half." ”

Then, Wang Zhengru's patience should also be exhausted.

……

There was a fog on the river, and a thin mist came to the face, and the tide hit the face a little cold.

"Slow down." Cui Yiting explained.

One ship after another moved slowly, and suddenly the front ship stopped.

Cui Yiting frowned.

"My lord," Xie Yanji strode over, "It's okay, I just happened to meet the lifesaving temple, stop and say a few words, I have already explained, donate some sesame oil money, the weather is getting colder and colder, there are always ships in distress on the river, and those monks are not easy." ”

The life-saving temple was jointly run by the imperial court and the temple, mainly to rescue official ships and civilian ships.

"Be careful." Cui Yiting commanded in a low voice.

Xie Yanji said: "You can rest when you get to the front, and you always have to walk less when it gets foggy today." ”

Cui Yiting raised his head, and it was getting dark.

……

Wan Ning was holding a hosta and was teasing the kingfisher in the cage, this bird was very lazy, and dozed off when it was full, she asked the rain to open the window to let it breathe, it sneezed twice in a row, and then looked at her with a reproachful face, chirping, and when she closed the window, it immediately stopped its mouth, retracted one of its paws, closed its eyes and lowered its head.

Seeing that the bird's belly was getting bigger and bigger, she came up with a way to walk the bird with a hosta, and it was boring to be locked in the cabin these days, just to help the lazy bird lose weight.

"Get up, get up, it's been a day of sleep......"

The birds in the cage fluttered their wings reluctantly.

Wan Ning laughed while teasing the birds.

The boat shook suddenly, and the hosta in Wan Ning's hand almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" During these days, Wanning had adapted to the bumps on the river, and this heavy shaking was not quite like it was because of the wind and waves.

"Slave maid go and see." Luo Yu said and walked out of the cabin, and before he could step out of the cabin door, the mother-in-law outside hurriedly walked in.

The mother-in-law stepped forward and saluted Wanning, "Seventh Miss." The official ship in front of it stopped and said let's go first. ”

How could they suddenly let them go first.

No matter what happens these days, all the ships are parked in order. There has never been a big mess of order, the civilian ships are smaller than the official ships, and their boats are walking behind, and in front of them is the official ship that Cui Yiting is riding.

It doesn't make sense.

Wan Ning thought about getting up and walking out of the cabin.

The sky has darkened, a layer of fog has risen on the river, and the official ships have lit lanterns, not far from Cui Yiting's boat. Someone is coming and going.

This is something that doesn't happen normally.

Wan Ning looked around.

It's quiet and there's nothing out of the ordinary.

"Miss Seven, go back." Luoyu took the cloak and put it over Wanning's shoulders.

Mrs. Shen Si also rushed out. "What's going on? What do you do when you come out? ”

"The boat is about to stop," Wan Ning looked at Mrs. Shen Si, "Brother Kun should come over, right?" Otherwise, let my uncle and Mr. Yang both go to this boat. ”

"We are on the lower floor, let my uncle take Brother Kun and Mr. Yang to live on the upper floor."

"How's that going to work?" Mrs. Shen Si was surprised. "We are all women, and it is always inconvenient."

"Mr. Yang is Brother Kun's master, and I haven't reached it yet, and this boat is not small," the surroundings are too quiet, and every time it is night, there will be laughter on the official boat, and someone will draw water to wash. To make a fuss for a while, Wan Ning always felt that something was inappropriate. She knew Cui Yiting, with Cui Yiting's character, she would not change one thing casually, but now she stopped the boat and let them go first.

"Where's Thunder Tiger?"

Wan Ning had just opened her mouth to ask, only to hear a deep voice from the side, "Miss Yao Qi, I'm here." ”

Mrs. Shen Si was startled, and a person dressed as a family member came over.

"Could there be anything wrong with the situation today?"

As soon as Wanning's words fell, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

Lei Hu frowned, "Mrs. and Miss will go back first," he said, looking at the people around him, "Just in case it's an old man who eats Piaozi money." ”

Wan Ning couldn't understand these code words, so she hurriedly bent down and entered the cabin with Mrs. Shen Si.

I only heard someone outside: "Quick, quick, let the Shen family's boat go first." ”

The boat that had been stopped moved again, and the hull of the ship swayed, and there was some panic.

Mrs. Shen Si suddenly had cold hands and feet, and asked in a loud voice, "What happened, what is going on?" ”

The mother-in-law stumbled over and said, "Madam, miss, the official ship of the imperial court urges us to go first." ”

As soon as the mother-in-law's words fell, the boat shook twice, and the mother-in-law almost fell into the cabin, and the people in the boat suddenly let out an exclamation.

Mrs. Shen Si held Wan Ning's hand tightly, "Didn't you meet a water thief?" With so many official ships, do pirates dare to come? ”

If it is an ordinary water thief, the court must have a way, I am afraid that this matter is not simple, and at this time, we must always plan for the worst.

……

Cui Yiting watched the Shen family's ship come over.

"How many ships?"

"There are four or five ships," the subordinate hung his head, "and we didn't notice that the river was foggy today, but the adults asked them to check it, and we saw that the ships sneakily followed." ”

Cui Yiting shook his head, "You may have followed us before, you may have come up when you stopped at the Life Saving Temple." ”

A thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on the subordinate's forehead, "It doesn't look like an ordinary water bandit." ”

There won't be so many boats, so many people.

"Eighty percent came for the grain," Xie Yanji looked outside, "The officials of Nanzhili would only come up with such a method when they jumped over the wall in a hurry." ”

"It's better to go first." When the civilian boats are gone, those people will follow, and there will inevitably be deaths and injuries at that time.

Cui Yiting walked out of the cabin, looking at the commotion in the distance, when suddenly the fire flashed, and a ship caught fire.

The fire ignited the grain ship, and the smoke gradually rose into the sky, and the arrows with sparks came again.

……

Outside, there was a firelight.

The Shen family's boat came over, and the official ship pressed up, and Mrs. Shen Si was already trembling with fright, but her voice trembled to comfort Wan Ning, "With people from the imperial court, it will definitely be fine." ”
