Chapter 194: Arrival
As soon as Xiao Hao said this, not only the prisoners squatting in the corner were stunned, but even the soldiers on the side showed shocked expressions.
My lord, this is going to ??? It's really all killed???
Looking at Xiao Hao's solemn expression, no subordinate dared to question Xiao Hao's order.
However, after the thin man heard Xiao Hao's words, he immediately reacted and said to Xiao Hao: "Lord Xiao, if you don't kill us, we are the only ones who know who is behind the attack on you, if you kill me, you will definitely not find him!" ”
Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows playfully: "Why do you think that if I am gone, you will not be able to find someone who wants to kill me?" Where do you get your confidence? Xiao Hao looked at the thin man and said coldly.
Then, Xiao Hao's eyes were extremely cold, and he looked at this group of people as if he was looking at an inanimate object: "What are you doing in a daze?" It's not too fast to get rid of them. ”
At this time, the thin man glanced at Xiao Hao, and saw that Xiao Hao's expression was indeed not joking with him, and he was panicked in his heart, looking at the other soldiers who gradually came over, the thin man was heartbroken, and shouted at Xiao Hao: "I have something to say." ”
Just the next second when the thin man shouted, Xiao Hao saw a huge body falling from the sky, pressing the thin man's head under his buttocks, the thin man was still struggling frantically at first, but the fat man actually ran over a few times, and the thin man was directly out of breath, and when the soldiers lifted the fat man together, the thin man had completely swallowed.
Xiao Hao glanced at the fat man in a daze, then his eyes darkened, and he said to the soldiers: "Take them all." ”
The prisoners were relieved to see that Xiao Hao didn't want to leave them, after all, the ship sank, no one would care even if they died, if Xiao Hao really left them here at this time, they would have no way to resist.
Now that they're willing to take themselves with them, that's the best.
Xiao Hao paused and said to the two soldiers holding the fat man, "Hold him alone." ”
"Yes, sir."
Before the fat man left, he smiled at Xiao Hao, and the malice contained in that smile was simply chilling.
After transferring everyone to another ship, everyone set off and continued to sail towards the boundary of Jiangnan, which should still be half an hour away.
Xiao Hao walked quickly to the cabin with Li Sinian, and only after sitting down did he say to Li Sinian: "Did you find any traces on the previous ship?" ”
Li Sinian shook his head: "No, I just took someone to search carefully, and I didn't find anything unusual, it can be seen that they are very wary of us, and now, we can only hope that we can pry their mouths open." ”
"However, according to the subordinates, the only one who has an enmity with us now is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and the subordinates believe that it is very likely that it is the hand of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Xiao Hao heard Li Sinian's words, and did not refute it directly, but thought about it for a while before speaking: "I don't think the third prince is behind this incident. ”
Li Sinian looked at Xiao Hao with puzzled eyes, Xiao Hao opened his mouth and explained to him: "This time I came to Jiangnan for disaster relief, the third prince mentioned Lord Qin of the household department, and the prince realized that this person was wrong, and recommended me to the emperor, I am responsible for this important responsibility, if I die mysteriously before I arrive in Jiangnan, someone in the court will definitely use this matter to attack the three princes, and the three princes cherish their feathers so much, how can they give people the opportunity to splash him with dirty water?" He must be the back hand prepared in Jiangnan. ”
"Then this group of people is ......," Li Sinian's voice hesitated.
"Even if it's not the hands of the three princes, it doesn't mean that this group of people has nothing to do with the three princes, just press them, torture the fat man by the way, and see if you can secretly find out who they are."
"Yes." Li Sinian responded neatly.
Then, Xiao Hao seemed to remember something, and asked Li Sinian, "That Lu Yan ......"
As soon as he heard Lu Yan's name, Li Sinian's expression immediately became bad, and he remembered that the stinky boy took Meteor's hand again.
Then I heard Xiao Hao say: "Go and check the identity of that Lu Yan, if there is a problem, ......" Xiao Hao put his hand on his neck and made a knife gesture.
Li Sinian saw Xiao Hao's movements and nodded with a serious expression.
On the way to Gangnam, there were no more accidents, and they arrived at the pier very smoothly.
When Xiao Hao led Hang Yidong's men down, he found that there was already a team of people guarding there not far away, Xiao Hao took a few steps forward and said to the middle-aged man who was in the lead: "Meet Governor Zhai." ”
Hang Yidong also respectfully blessed his body to Zhai Governor's Mansion: "The white rooster loves you Zhai Governor's Mansion." ”
Zhai Governor's Mansion dressed his own official mansion, led a large group of people, and guarded the dock from the afternoon, which made the people passing by very surprised, this Zhai Governor's Mansion has always loved the people like a son, and is very loved by the people, so that Zhai Governor's Mansion only waited for a while, and the people in the town knew that there was an adult who was coming to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and everyone quietly discussed it.
"Hey, have you heard? The emperor assigned an adult from the capital to come down for disaster relief, and I heard that it would arrive in the evening, but the Zhai prefect had been waiting there since the afternoon. ”
"Well, it's spread all over town, how could I not know? I don't expect this adult to do anything practical, as long as he doesn't come to harm us. Alas, it would be nice if all the officials and masters were the same as Governor Zhai's. ”
"I said, you don't know this, the adult who came to relieve the disaster this time is the commander Xiao who repelled the Beimu clan last time, he is the son of the general of Dingguo, and the lady is still the Xiaohua county lord who discovered the new grain, if you want me to say, this time, Lord Xiao must be different from those dog officials in the past."
"Well, I hope so."
Because Zhai Zhifu was respected by the people, when Xiao Hao took Hang Yidong off the boat, there were still a large number of people waiting with him by Zhai Zhifu's side.
Seeing that Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong got off the boat, and made a big salute to him so respectfully, Zhai Zhifu didn't show it on his face, but he was very useful in his heart, and he immediately helped Xiao Hao up: "Lord Xiao, please get up." ”
Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong stood up, but Xiao Hao still looked at Zhai Prefect with a sincere face: "Thank you Zhai Prefect for saving your life, otherwise, the lives of this entire ship will be buried in the sea." ”
Where did Zhai Yifu dare to take credit, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's not the credit of the lower officials, it should be that Lord Xiao learned about the plan of this group of gangsters in advance, and immediately asked Lord Li to send someone to ask for help, so that the lower officials can send men and ships in time, and everyone can survive." ”
"Therefore, if you want to thank you, you should also rest that Lord Xiao's perception is sensitive. If Lord Xiao didn't notice that something was wrong, how could I send Lord Li to ask for help, and how could I provide rescue to my lord? ”
"Therefore, the lord does not need to be so grateful to the lower officials."
Zhai Prefect's words were sincere, if they were put on other officials, maybe they would have been praised by Xiao Hao a long time ago, but Zhai Prefect was very sober and did not despise Xiao Hao and others because he saved them.
Such a sincere, sincere and enthusiastic person, no wonder he can become an official so loved by the people, and no wonder he has been the prefect of Jiangnan for so many years, and he has not taken another step forward, I am afraid that it will hinder the eyes of some people.
Xiao Hao heard Zhai Governor's words, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Zhai Governor doesn't have to be too humble, although it is true that the official asked Lord Li to come to ask for help, but if Lord Zhai does not borrow it, there is no problem, after all, this place is not within the scope of Lord Zhai's management, but Lord Zhai, you borrow it, that is a life-saving grace for me Xiao someone, I Xiao Hao has never been an ungrateful person, if there is anything that Lord Zhai needs help in the future, Xiao will definitely do his best to help Lord Zhai." ”
Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Zhai Prefect seemed to be in tears in the next second, looking at Zhai Prefect's touched expression, Xiao Hao felt that the goosebumps on his body were rising, as if there was something wrong?
But Xiao Hao didn't have time to think about it, the prisoners were escorted up from the boat by the soldiers, looking at the back of the fat man with a fierce face but no other movements, Xiao Hao's eyes darkened, and he turned back to Zhai Governor's Mansion and said: "Lord Zhai, these people are the prisoners who tried to assassinate us on the ship, please help take them into custody, especially the fat man who is the leader, is a dangerous person, Zhai Governor will definitely take him into custody carefully." ”
Governor Zhai followed Xiao Hao's gaze and looked at the back of the black-skinned fat man, and said solemnly to Xiao Hao: "Lord Xiao, please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely complete the work seriously." ”
When the people on the boat were almost down, Zhai Zhifu said to Xiao Hao: "Lord Xiao, you are in a hurry, if it is late today, and the inns in the town have already closed, why don't you go to my mansion for one night tonight, and then go out to find a place to stay after a good rest tomorrow?" It is also good to let the lower officials do their best to the friendship of the landlord. ”
Xiao Hao groaned for a while, looking at Hang Yidong, who was still a little pale because of seasickness, and a circle of tired subordinates around him, Xiao Hao nodded and said to Zhai Governor's Mansion: "Then trouble Zhai Governor's Mansion." ”
Governor Zhai touched his beard and said gently: "Lord Xiao doesn't have to be polite to the lower officials, these are what the lower officials should do." ”
Subsequently, Zhai Zhifu asked his subordinates to carry the luggage of Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong and his party to his carriage, and after Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong got into the carriage, they drove slowly in the direction of Zhai Fu.
The carriage walked slowly, as if it was taking care of the tired group, and Hang Yidong nested in Xiao Hao's arms, feeling the bumpy carriage, and fell asleep sweetly.
