Chapter Ninety-Two: The Tankers

"The lower official is called Jiang Xuan, and Li Banyu knows the lower official?" Jiang Xuan saw that Li Jie seemed very surprised by his name, so he also asked curiously, but he remembered that he didn't seem to have anything to do with this Li Companion, right?

"Ahem~, it's nothing, I just think your name is special!" Li Jie covered up his embarrassment with a dry cough.

Although this Jiang Xuan is only a small thousand households now, he will become the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the future, and his most famous deed is to set off the Lan Yu case and pull the arrogant and lawless Lan Yu off the horse, I don't know how many people were implicated and killed, from this point of view, he is no worse than Mao Xiang who is still alive now.

However, Jiang Zhen was even more confused when he heard Li Jie's words, his name is indeed a little special, the word "Xuan" is rare, it refers to a kind of jade, and "ring" has the same sound, so many people hear his name for the first time, they think his name is Jiang Huan, is it possible that this Li Ban knows how to write his name just by listening to the pronunciation?

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you should know the situation in Ningbo best, now tell me about the situation in the local officialdom!" Tang He interrupted the two at this time, and the inspection of coastal defense requires the cooperation of local officials, so the information related to officialdom is also extremely important.

I saw that Jiang Zhen immediately took out a thick booklet from his arms and said: "Guogong, please see, this is the detailed information of officials at all levels in Ningbo, the prefect Wang is shrewd and capable, honest and honest, and governs Ningbo in an orderly manner, and the naval army under the command of Wei Commander Fang Guan is strong, which is enough to eliminate the use of the Japanese bandits......"

Jiang Zhen is worthy of being Jinyiwei, he is like a treasure in the entire Ningbo officialdom, Tang He listened to him, opened the information to watch, Li Jie also came over, and he was surprised to find that this information was really detailed, and even how many people were in each official's family, and the distance between these people and the officials were clearly recorded.

After Tang He read this information roughly, he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked again: "What about the Japanese Kou, do you have any information?" ”

Hearing Tang He ask about the Japanese Invaders, Jiang Zhen suddenly became a little uneasy, only to see him hesitate for a moment before replying: "Qi Qi Guogong, according to the news received by his subordinates, the Japanese Kou appeared on the southern coast of Ningbo recently, but they did not go ashore, and now they are missing!" ”

"That's all? You Jinyiwei spend so much money every year, and you only find out such a little news? Tang He also showed an annoyed look when he heard this, they inspected the coastal defense this time, and the main target was the Japanese Kou, but now Jinyi Wei only found out such a little bit of news, but the whereabouts of the Japanese Kou did not know anything, which made them also fall into passivity.

"Guogong is angry, it's not that his subordinates don't do their best, it's really a Japanese Kou on the sea, even if we send someone to break into them, there is no way to pass the news back, and the Japanese are cunning, and the details sent out will reveal their identities if they are not careful, and we have seven or eight spies who have died in the hands of the Japanese Kou in the last half a year!" Jiang Zhen hurriedly shouted for himself.

"Humph! Quibble, when did you Jinyiwei learn to give yourself reasons? Tang He asked again mercilessly, before he came, he was instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang to directly dispatch Jinyiwei.

"The subordinates should be damned, please punish the country!" Hearing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly admitted his mistake, Tang He is His Majesty's most trusted minister, if he goes back to sue them for Jinyiwei's ineffective work, I'm afraid he will be unlucky.

"Grandpa Tang, the Japanese invaders are infested at sea, and it is indeed inconvenient to monitor, and this can't all be blamed on Jiang Qianhu and them!" Li Jie opened his mouth to intercede for Jiang Zhen at this time, although he didn't have a good impression of Jinyiwei, but this guy in front of him would be in charge of the entire Jinyiwei in the future, and it would not be a bad thing to have a good relationship with him now.

Hearing Li Jie intercede for himself, Jiang Zhen also showed a grateful look at him. Tang He actually knew that Jinyiwei could not be blamed for this matter, if the traces of the Japanese were so easy to find out, I am afraid that they would have been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty many years ago.

So Tang He also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey at this time and said: "That's it, for the sake of Li Banyu's face, this matter will be recorded for the time being, and you Jinyiwei will follow me during this time, and you will be dispatched at any time!" ”

"Xie Guogong, Xie Li read together!" Jiang Zhen saw that Tang He did not pursue this matter for the time being, and immediately said with great joy.

After resting for the night, as soon as they got up the next morning, the prefect Wang Lun came to visit in person, and Tang He and Li Jie also happened to go to inspect Fang Guan's naval army, so they asked Wang Lun to go with him, and Jiang Rong also followed them all the time.

The group came to the wharf again, the wharf was the busiest in the early morning, the shipowners were busy loading and unloading the goods, the laborers were shirtless, struggling to carry the goods for their own lives, there were all kinds of vendors shouting to solicit business, and the ships in the port were also coming in and out, this should be one of the busiest ports in the world.

However, when Li Jie and the others boarded the boat, they suddenly saw a commotion from a small group of boats not far away, and then someone cried, and then another person jumped into the water, it seemed that someone had fallen into the water, and these people were also busy rescuing.

Li Jie's boat was high and not far away, so they soon saw someone rescue a small child from the water, but the child seemed to have fallen into a coma and was pulled to the deck motionless, next to a woman and several children wailing.

The child who fell into the water was in critical condition, and the people on the boat immediately rowed to the shore, as if they wanted to go ashore to find a doctor to rescue, but what people didn't expect was that as soon as their boat approached the shore, it was immediately blocked by other boats around, and then someone shouted forbidding them to dock, and even pushed the boat with the child to the shore with oars.

"How can this be true? In broad daylight, are they going to kill someone? Li Jie was very annoyed when he saw the people who drove the boat, and said that the children of the people were dying, but they still did not let the boat dock, which was simply intentional homicide.

The prefect next to him was also a little embarrassed, but he still explained in a low voice: "Li Banyu doesn't know, those are Tan people, and according to the customs of the coastal area, they are forbidden to go ashore!" ”

The so-called Tan people, in fact, are also called egg people, refers to the people who live on boats along the coast, usually make a living from fishing and transportation, they usually drive small boats, and when they encounter the rolling waves, they are like eggshells floating on the water, and there is a danger of toppling at any time, so they are called egg people.

Some people say that they are relics of the former Song Dynasty, some people say that they come from overseas, and even some coastal bankrupt people will become Tan people, and it is even said that when Zhang Shicheng was defeated, some of the old troops who were unwilling to surrender simply went to the sea to become Tan people.

Li Jie had heard about the Tan people before he came, but he didn't care about any customs or customs, in his eyes, the life of the heavens and the earth was the greatest, so I saw him step to the dock and yelled at those who drove the Tan people's boats: "Stop! ”

Li Jie was wearing an official uniform, and there were guards around him, and those who were driving away the Tan people were also taken aback, and immediately stopped, after all, ordinary people were most afraid of officials, and they didn't know how they angered this young official?

Li Jie didn't have time to pay attention to these people, so he immediately jumped on the boat of these people, and then walked quickly to the bow of the boat, in front of which was the small boat of the Tan people, he jumped on it with an arrow step, and the Tan people on the boat were also startled, especially when he saw Li Jie wearing an official uniform, which made these people show a look of fear.

I saw Li Jie come to the child who fell into the water, stretched out his hand and tried it under his nose, but found that the child didn't even breathe, and then he tried his chest again, and his heartbeat seemed to be there, if he didn't save him, the child would die.

Li Jie knew the steps to rescue the child after falling into the water, but he had never practiced it, but now he couldn't care about it, and reached out to raise the child's jaw, and then began artificial respiration and chest compressions.

Although the Tanmin on the boat couldn't understand what Li Jie was doing, he could feel that he should be saving people, especially the child's mother, and at this time he also suppressed his cry and knelt to the side, his hands together as if he was praying to the heavens.

Li Jie's rescue was still very effective, and after a while, I saw the child suddenly squirt out a stream of turbid water, and then cryed out with a cry of "wow~", which also made the surrounding Tan people all breathe a sigh of relief, and the mother suddenly pounced on it, holding the child and crying bitterly.

Seeing that the child woke up, Li Jie was also relieved, and immediately prepared to leave, but he saw that there were several small boats of the Tan people next to him, and one of the old men stood at the bow of the boat and saluted him: "Thank you for helping us and other Tan people, and please announce your name, although we and other Tan people are lowly, but they are also people who know how to repay their kindness!" ”

"The old man doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture, in Xia Li Festival, he is the deputy envoy of the inspection of eastern Zhejiang Province personally appointed by His Majesty, and he followed the Duke of Xinguo to inspect the coastal defense, if you want to thank him, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Li Jie smiled and reported his identity, and after speaking, he stepped on the boat next to him, and then stepped ashore and left here.

Although the old man didn't know that the deputy envoy of the inspection of eastern Zhejiang was a few officials, he was immediately startled when he heard that Li Jie was an official sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and when he wanted to kneel down and salute, Li Jie had already gone ashore and left.

This made the old man of the Tan people excited with tears in his eyes, as the Tan people, they were oppressed everywhere, and the government also suppressed them, but he didn't expect that this deputy envoy not only did not dislike them, but also saved their Tan people's children with his own hands, so it seems that not all the officials in this world are bad people!

Li Jie returned to his boat, but saw Tang He and said to him with a smile: "Boy, I didn't expect you to know medical skills?" ”

"Understand!" Li Jie also replied with a smile, but this is also the truth, after all, he did not study medicine in his previous life.

Saving people was just a small episode, Tang He immediately ordered the ships to leave the shore and rush to the naval camp in Fangguan, but at this moment, Jiang Xuan, who was a brocade-clothed guard, quietly pulled Li Jie aside and whispered: "Li Banyu, you shouldn't have saved that Tan people!" ”
