Chapter 99
Xu Wei nodded heavily, unfolded the coastal defense map of the two Zhejiang provinces in his hand, and asked Lu Yi to take a look.
"Lord Lu should know that since the Taizu period, there have been Japanese robbers along the coast from time to time, but there has never been any big chaos, and the Japanese rebellion has only intensified in recent years, just because there are two people behind the Japanese rebellion. One of them is Xu Hai, who was subdued by us last year and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water; Another person is Wang Zhi. ”
"Wang Zhi is different from Xu Hai, he has been at sea for many years, is respected as the old ship owner, and has annexed dozens of maritime forces for his use." Xu Wei's finger dotted several places on the map, "Among these forces, the Orientals are the mainstay, as well as coastal fishermen, Spaniards, and Portuguese. Wang Zhi can still make them obedient for a day, but once they kill Wang Zhi, they will lose control and will be even more troublesome. ”
"I have been studying with the Governor for a long time, but I can only devise a plan to lure Wang Zhi ashore, and then control it, so as to manipulate the sea forces and quell the rebellion. Results ......"
Speaking of this, Xu Wei sighed before continuing: "When the big thing is about to be accomplished, the royal history king Bengu inserted a pole horizontally and arrested Wang Zhi in prison. ”
Later, there was a lot of uproar, and Lu Yi naturally knew: Wang Zhi was arrested, and there was a shout of killing in the court, and Duhu Zongxian wrote a letter requesting not to kill Wang Zhi, let him serve the court, and restrain the Japanese Kou, but unfortunately no one agreed. The DPRK and China have accused Hu Zongxian of indulging criminals, and there must be inside information. It was also because of this incident that Lu Yi was ordered to investigate in Liangzhejiang.
At this time, I recalled what Wang Zhi said before he died - "It's okay to kill me, but it only hurts the people of Zhejiang, and after I die, this place will be in chaos for ten years!" ”
Things corresponded one by one, and the truth was already in front of Lu Yi, and he knew very well that Hu Zongxian was not lying.
"Sending Xia Zheng to Mao Haifeng, is it Wang Zhi's request?" Lu Yi asked.
mentioned Xia Zheng, who was poking at Hu Zongxian's sore spot, he closed his eyes deeply and nodded helplessly: "...... I hurt this child. ”
Xu Wei said fiercely: "Wang Zhi is very suspicious, the governor has worked hard to invite him ashore over the years, and it is not only Xia Zheng who has suffered losses. If it weren't for that stupid and stupid pig-like Wang Bengu, why would this be the case! The hard work of the governor for several years was ruined in one fell swoop. ”
Lu Yi looked down at the coastal defense map, was silent for a moment, and then said: "I want to go to the army, I don't know if it's convenient." ”
Hu Zongxian was still speculating about his intentions, and Xu Wei already understood.
"Lord Lu wants to have an in-depth understanding of the situation of the Japanese and then go to the imperial court?" Xu Wei said.
"That's right, although Hu Dudu spent several years of hard work for Wang Zhi, but if there is no strong evidence, I am afraid that the people in the DPRK and China will still misunderstand the Dudu." Lu Yi said, "What's more, the saint must also present a detailed reply. ”
Hu Zongxian nodded and said: "This matter is not difficult, my subordinate Yu Dayou is currently confronting Mao Haifeng in Cen Gang, if you are interested, you can go to Cen Port for a while." When would you like to go? ”
"The sooner the better."
"Early tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to take you."
"That's great, thank you."
Hu Zongxian was still worried: "It's rare to say that you are fair, Hu is very grateful, but what I'm worried about is ...... In the capital, I am afraid that those officials will not stop, and I have no one to help me in the court, but I am afraid that the saint will believe the words of the villain. ”
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "The governor's words are wrong, if the saint believes those people, he will not ask me to come and go through this experience." ”
"The so-called lonely bird is difficult to sing, there is no one in this court, and it is not a long-term strategy after all."
Lu Yi seemed to smile: "Dudu, what does it mean?" ”
"Lord Yan Songyan, there ......"
Hu Zongxian was only halfway through his words when he was stopped by Lu Yi, who took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it for Hu Zongxian to see.
"Does the Governor recognize this man?"
"Luo Wenlong!"
Hu Zongxian recognized this person immediately.
"He's a subordinate of the Governor?"
"It's a traitor, he used to help me get close to Xu Hai, and then he actually went with the Japanese Kou." Hu Zongxian said fiercely, "This person has a grudge against me, I haven't heard from him for a long time, how can you have a portrait of him?" ”
Luo Wenlong's identity was completely expected by Lu Yi, since Yan Shifan wanted to deal with Hu Zongxian, he would definitely find someone who was very familiar with Hu Zongxian, whether it was collecting evidence or making false testimony, he could act cheaply.
"As far as I know, this person is with Yan Shifan right now." Lu Yi stared at him.
Hu Zongxian was stunned for a long time, and when he woke up like a dream, a catastrophe came to his face: "He is by Yan Shifan's side, could it be that he provoked Yan Shifan to rectify me?" What kind of power is the Yan family, don't I have no way out? ”
"Don't forget, no matter how powerful the Yan family is, the saint still has the final say in this world." Lu Yi kindly reminded him.
Hu Zongxian heard his voice: "What does the virtuous brother mean?" ”
Lu Yi said with a smile: "The governor might as well think about it quietly, maybe there will be a turning point...... By the way, the two girls sent by the governor a few days ago, as well as a few boxes of objects, Yan Yuan has not moved, let people carry them back when they are free. At this moment, people are taking advantage of loopholes, and it's not good to gossip. ”
Previously, Hu Zongxian was a beauty and a gift of property, in order to buy Lu Yi and let him say a few good words for himself, but now it seems that if this matter is true, Lu Yi will be suspected of accepting bribes, and he will only end up worse, which is simply lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. Hu Zongxian sighed and said, "I'll send someone to handle this matter immediately." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, Yan Yuan will leave first!" Lu Yi said goodbye to Hu Zongxian and turned to leave.
Xu Wei said to Hu Zongxian: "I'll send one to Lord Lu." ”
With that, he hurried to catch up with Lu Yi.
With great respect for Xu Wei in his heart, Lu Yi slowed down and walked slowly with him.
"By the way, the two girls sent by the governor a few days ago, and a few boxes of things, Mr. still let people take them back." Lu Yidao.
Xu Wei nodded: "What I said is that it makes Lord Lu embarrassed." ”
"Yan Yuan is curious, when my father asked Mr. to go out of the mountain, Mr. refused, why did Hu Dudu invite Mr. and Mr. agreed?" Lu Yi asked Xu Weidao.
Xu Wei said: "I am from Shaoxing, and the two Zhejiang and Zhejiang are rampant, how can I stand by and watch." ”
Lu Yi smiled: "Mr. Gaoyi, non-fame and fortune are desirable, Yan Yuan admires it." ”
"The governor has been in Liangzhejiang for many years, and he has trained soldiers and horses for the Japanese Kou, and there are quite a few capable generals under him." Xu Wei said, "What I'm worried about is not just the black gauze hat of the governor, but once the governors of the two Zhejiang provinces are replaced, there will inevitably be a big change of blood in the army, which is equivalent to years of hard work in vain." In this way, what year and month will be able to quell the rebellion? ”
He stopped, turned to Lu Yi, and gave a deep salute, Lu Yi was busy trying to help, but he didn't move.
"Wen Chang's gift is not for the governor alone, but for the people of Zhejiang."
"Yan Yuan understands that he must do his best."
Lu Yi helped him up and answered in a deep voice.
*******************************************************************
After Mrs. Shen's two injections, Ah Rui's injuries have improved significantly, although he is still unable to walk on the ground, he has been able to take a spoon to eat, saving Cen Shou a lot of trouble.
On this day, Mrs. Shen administered an injection to him as usual, packed the medical bag and came out, and called him to change the medicine this summer.
"How can this medicine be different today?" Jin Xia asked in surprise.
Mrs. Shen applied the medicine and carefully bandaged her with a cloth: "I added a medicine to it, and it is not easy to leave a scar when it heals." ”
"It's still my aunt's best for me!" This summer laughed.
Uncle Beggar shook over, yawned and interjected: "That's right, she drove me out of the city to collect medicine before dawn, and I ran to many places to finally find it." ”
"Or freshly picked medicine?!" This summer, I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to let Uncle Beggar collect medicine, and I couldn't help but be flattered, "Auntie, don't be so troublesome, my injury is not in my face, and no one can see the scar, it's okay." ”
Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "You are a girl's family, you can't have a scar anywhere." By the way, you've got this ...... Mosquito bitten? ”
This summer scratched nonchalantly: "Well, I especially attract mosquitoes, as long as there is me in this house, it is more effective than smoking wormwood." We people in the yamen like to spend time with me in the summer. ”
Listening to her words, Mrs. Shen smiled abruptly, her eyes were full of water, and she said in a low voice: "...... Same as my sister......"
"Huh? And with whom? "This summer is strange.
Realizing her gaffe, Mrs. Shen collected her thoughts and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, I've met like this before, go back and pick some medicine, get a sachet to hang on your body, and then add some easy-to-apply medicinal juice for you." ”
"Is it troublesome?"
"No trouble."
Mrs. Shen got up, turned her back to wipe the corners of her eyes, and walked away quickly.
This summer sat still, looking at Mrs. Shen's back, and sighed to Uncle Beggar: "Uncle, my aunt is really a bodhisattva, I was bitten by mosquitoes a few times, and she was sad to be like this!" ”
Uncle Beggar also felt a little strange: "Before dawn, let me collect medicine for you, and when I picked it, it was steamed and crushed, and then it was dispensing, and I tossed for a while, but I didn't care so much." You said you had a little injury, as for it. ”
"Uncle, you're not jealous, are you?" This summer looked at him suspiciously.
"yes, I'm just jealous." Uncle Beggar admitted frankly, "She has been around you all day lately, changing your medicine and dispensing medicine, and when she is free, I want to accompany her out to visit the West Lake, but she is worried about buying fabrics, saying that you don't look like a girl all day long, so it doesn't work, she said that she wants to make you a few sets of clothes......"
This summer opened her mouth and stammered: "She, she still wants to make me clothes?!" ”
"Do you think she's all about you right now?" Uncle Beggar was a little aggrieved, "My boots were broken, and she didn't even notice it." ”
"It's okay, I'll ask Da Yang to help you mend your boots."
While comforting him this summer, he muttered in his heart, and suddenly heard Cen Fu's voice outside, knowing that Lu Yi was back, and hurriedly went out to look for him. Leaving the beggar alone, he shook his head and sighed: "It is said that girls are outgoing, which is really good." ”
Lu Yizheng instructed Cen Fu: "I will leave for Cen Gang early tomorrow morning, you prepare my outfit for me, so this time I will go to the army, and the less I dress, the better." ”
"Why did Hu Zongxian let you go to the army?"
Jinxia limped out and asked in surprise.
"I proposed it to go to the army to learn in detail about the situation of the coastal pirates." Lu Yi replied.
Cen Shou also greeted him: "Eldest son, you want to go to the army, I will go with you." ”
"No, there is no other place in the army, I only take Cen Fu alone. Tomorrow, you escort Chunyu girl to Xinhe City to worship her ancestors. Lu Yi commanded.
This summer hurriedly asked, "What about me and Dayang?" ”
"You take the official road to Xinhe City, and in a while, I will go over to meet you." Lu Yi said, and went back to the room to change clothes first.
Everyone dispersed, and this summer was still in place frowning and thinking, and the beggar uncle came over to tease her: "Girl, reluctant? ”
"What are you reluctant to do?" She looked at him inexplicably.
"I can't bear to be my good grandson."
This summer gave him a blank look, ignored it, and staggered to Lu Yi's room.
