Chapter 634: Down the River

"Then you can look for it now," Zheng Yu glanced at him, "If you can't find my brother, don't come to see me again." ”

"Yes, yes......" Ding Yu smiled bitterly, but he didn't move a step under his feet.

Zheng Yu didn't care about him, and walked towards the dock with Yang Muyun. Ding Yu tiptoed far behind.

The large and small ships docked at the market pier are densely packed like crucian carp crossing the river, which makes people look big.

"Let's go and inquire separately," Yang Muyun discussed with Zheng Yu: "You must be careful, these people not only have martial arts, but also evil arts...... Half an hour later, we met here. ”

"Well," Zheng Yu bowed his head slightly, and glanced at Ding Yu who was following him, "Don't follow stupidly behind, why don't you go and inquire about my brother's whereabouts, and come here in half an hour." ”

"Well, you can obey!" Ding Yu replied.

....

There are so many people coming and going on the docks that it sounds time-consuming and laborious, and it doesn't always seem like you can get any useful information.

The three of them made a big inquiry, and when they came back to meet, they exchanged ideas and found that they still found nothing.

"What should I do?" Zheng Yu looked at the sun that was already in the west, and was so anxious that tears were about to flow out, "If my brother can't find it again, how can I explain to my father and mother when I go back?" ”

"Don't worry," Yang Muyun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at Zheng Yu and said, "If it were you, would you go upstream or downstream if you kidnapped people to leave this market by boat?" ”

"Me," Zheng Yu thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would definitely go downstream, you think, upstream is Tokyo, where the river is well checked, and it is not easy to pass." It's different if you go downstream, you can go down the river and you can enter the sea, and once you enter the sea, it will be difficult to find them. ”

"Miss Zheng is right," Ding Yu said helpfully, "It just so happens that we have a boat, so we can get on the boat and go downstream to find ...... now."

"Right for you," Zheng Yu glared at him, "It's just speculation, what if those thieves didn't take the water route and escaped by land?" ”

"No," Ding Yu touched the back of his head, "Governor Feng didn't intercept any suspicious people there, I'm afraid it's impossible for the thieves to escape from ......the market by land."

"Miss," Yang Muyun asked, "What enemies do you have?" Can you tell me about it? ”

"This ......" Zheng Yu pondered: "My father led troops to fight everywhere, killing countless people, and some ministers in the court also had a discord with our Zheng family," glanced at Ding Yu, "For example, their surname is Ding, and they often can't get along with my father." ”

"Miss Zheng, you can't talk nonsense," Ding Yu shouted: "My father and Uncle Zheng just have different political views, and they will never follow the example of the thief who cut the path and kidnapped the ticket...... Besides, isn't Xiao Ke always following you? How did you kidnap your brother? ”

"Ding Gongzi, you don't have to be nervous, the eldest lady is just joking with you," Yang Muyun looked at the bustling flow of people on the dock, "If you inquire about such a thing, the government may not be effective, and the news of the local gangs is much better than that of the government." ”

"Gangs?" Ding Yu furrowed his brows, "But how do you find the people from the gang in this place?" Seeing that Yang Muyun and Zheng Yu's eyes were looking at him, he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you looking at me for?" ”

"Aren't you familiar with Governor Feng?" Yang Muyun said: "He manages this place, he must have the information of the local gang, and he will help guide him, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries?" ”

....

The Baifan Gang was the most powerful in the transportation of goods on the Thang Long River, and more than half of the goods on the river were transported by their ships. Liang Pan, the gang leader, has private dealings with important ministers in the Annan court, so as long as the ships of the Baifan Gang are seen at each checkpoint, they are not strictly investigated.

In this market dock in Zhiling County, it is taken care of by Du Hu, a rudder master of the White Sail Gang. This Du Hu has a short figure, but he is very strong and strong, with a horizontal face, blazing eyes, a wide mouth and a high nose, and no grass on his head, and what makes people even more furious is that there is a deep scar on the left side of this person's face, which looks extremely hideous.

Don't look at him with a fierce look at others, as soon as he sees Governor Feng's envoy, he will smile all over his face, the people don't fight with officials! Besides, Governor Feng is in charge of thousands of soldiers, and he is more majestic than Liu Yao of Zhixian County, how dare Du Hu slack off.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the prefectures and counties near and north of Annam Tokyo have a governor's department, and the governor's department has a chief governor and two deputy governors. According to the size of each prefecture and county, the number of officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the governor's department ranged from 1,000 to several hundred, and the ostensible duty was to catch bandits and robbers and assist local officials in maintaining law and order, but in fact it was equivalent to the military force of the Ming guards.

The reason why this is so is also a helpless move for the Annam court. Annan was independent from the political envoy of the Ming Dynasty and was deeply wary of the Ming Dynasty. Tokyo, the capital of Annam, is only more than 300 miles away from the nearest border pass of the Ming Dynasty, once the Ming Dynasty army goes out of the town of Nanguan, it can reach the city of Tokyo in a few days. This is like hanging a knife on the head of Annan, which makes people feel scared all the time, which is why Annan later moved the capital to the central city of Hue. But now, the only way to do this is to turn the prefectures around Tokyo into military towns and manage them militarized to prevent accidents.

At this time, he heard that Governor Feng personally came to the door, and Du Hu immediately greeted him.

"Oh, Lord Feng," Du Hu laughed so hard that his facial features were huddled, and the scar on his face shook like a crawling centipede, "Do you have any orders to send someone to greet you, the little one is going to visit now, how can you come in person?" Please ...... inside, please inside"

Governor Feng is over forty years old, with an elegant appearance, and usually has a spring breeze on his face, but today he has a serious face.

"Okay, I'm here this time for something important, so I won't talk about it." Governor Feng waved his hand, did not enter the house, and turned around to introduce Yang Muyun, Zheng Yu and Ding Yu who came with him.

Yang Muyun didn't give it back, behind Zheng Yu and Ding Yu were Zheng Ke, the county marquis, and Ding Lie, the court marquis, which made Du Hu's heart sink.

"The official next to me doesn't say much, I have heard that Brother Du is well-informed here," Governor Feng said: "The little son of Marquis Zheng was lost in this bazaar, and I hope that Brother Du will mobilize his subordinates to investigate carefully, and the official has thanked him here." ”

"Where did Master Feng come from," Du Hu hurriedly said: "The little one will send someone to investigate, I don't know how Zheng Xiaogongzi was lost, and I also asked Miss Zheng and Ding Dagongzi to tell the villain in detail." ”

Zheng Yu told Du Hu in detail how Xiao Zheng Hao was kidnapped and left, and also described the appearance of the three people who made the trick in detail.

"Well, please sit inside," Du Hu said, "The villain will let his subordinates go to find out the news." ”

"Lord Du Helm," Zheng Yu said worriedly, "It's been a few hours, presumably the thief has already left the market with my brother, is it convenient to find out now?" ”

"Miss Zheng, please be relieved," Du Hu comforted her, "My Baifan Gang is running by water, not to mention the small market, even the entire Shenglong River can't hide from our eyes." Don't worry, my White Sail Gang will use all their strength to find Zheng Xiaogongzi, even if the thieves and Zheng Xiaogongzi are not in the bazaar, we can still find out their whereabouts. ”

"Lord Du Helm," Yang Muyun arched his hand towards Du Hu, "Can I go out with your people to investigate?" ”

"Uh......" Before Du Hu could answer, he heard Zheng Yu say: "Master Du Duo, my brother's whereabouts are unknown, I have no intention of sitting here, and I ask you to allow me to go with you to find out the news of my brother." ”

"That's the best," Du Hu agreed, "I'll personally lead someone to investigate, and you and I will be with you at that time." ”

....

The entire bazaar was plowed again by the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Department and the people of the White Sail Gang, but still no valuable clues were found, which invisibly reminded them that people might really not be in the bazaar.

The direction of the search expanded beyond the bazaar, with the White Sails starting by water, while the officers and men of the Governor's Division focused on land.

"Do you want to send someone back to Tokyo to tell Marquis Zheng about this matter?" Yang Muyun asked Zheng Yu.

"Don't alarm Daddy yet," Zheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Daddy needs to reorganize things in the army, and I can't make any more trouble for him at this time." ”

"But if you don't go back, Miss......"

"I understand what you mean," Zheng Yu said without thinking, "I will write a letter for someone to bring to A-Niang, just say that I will take A-Di to play outside for a few days...... I often leave home for a while, and she won't suspect it for a while. ”

....

At this time, some news came from the White Sail Gang and the Governor's Division one after another, that the three people who were juggling had never been to this bazaar before, and that the more important piece of information was that the three of them came by boat, and the boat came from downstream.

Will they take a boat and flee downstream? This is a great possibility.

Yang Muyun and Zheng Yu took a boat of the White Sail Gang and went downstream, of course, Ding Yu was also on this boat, and their people from the White Sail Gang kept inquiring about Xiao Zheng Hao and the three people along the coast.

The moon hung in the sky, and there was silence on the river, and only the sound of the river "whooshing" could be heard lapping the side of the ship.

Zheng Yu sat at the bow of the boat, looking at the river surging in the moonlight. The night breeze blew, a slight chill, and she couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

"I hope you can do what you say," Zheng Yu sighed, "why do you say that the thieves want to kidnap my brother?" ”

"Huh-" A robe was draped on her, and she looked back in amazement and saw that it was Yang Muyun.

"Miss, it's so late, don't you go back to sleep in the cabin?" Yang Muyun stared at her and asked.

"I can't sleep," Zheng Yu looked at the full moon, "I don't know where my brother is now, what's wrong?" Those thieves don't know if they will torture him? ”

"Miss, it's useless for you to worry," Yang Muyun sat down next to her, "But don't worry, your brother is smart and clever, and thieves will not hurt him easily." ”
