There was nothing to do all night in the station!

On the morning of the second day, after hesitating for a long time, Lin Fan still knocked on Lin Ruxian's door.

"Is it Mortal? Come in! Lin Ruxian said softly.

Lin Fan gently pushed the door in according to his words, looking at his father, who was a little haggard, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But he still pretended to be calm and said, "Father, why did you get up so early?" How is my mother now, is she okay? ”

Lin Ruxian smiled, "Hehe, I can't sleep!" Your mother was a little frightened yesterday and is still asleep. Let's not disturb her, let her have a good rest! ”

Lin Fan looked up at Lin Ruxian, and stopped talking.

Lin Ruxian smiled, "Do you have something to say?" Why, you're still hiding it from me? ”

Lin Fan said embarrassedly: "Don't dare, I came to you this time, just because I think yesterday's incident was really a little strange!"

Lin Ruxian sighed and looked at him, "What a strange method, you say come and hear it!" ”

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, but said slowly: "Father, we all know the situation in Jiangzhou now, although there are occasional small groups of water bandits on the river, but we have never heard of more than three hundred thieves infesting here, otherwise our defense will definitely not be so lax!"

"Besides, those water bandits yesterday were disciplined and measured. Even ordinary officers and soldiers may not have such combat power. ”

"When I fought yesterday, I also found that most of the bandits' moves came from military tactics. Even if the bandit leader is well versed in the art of war and is familiar with drills, such combat power is definitely not something that can be practiced in a day or two. It can be seen that these are by no means ordinary water bandits! More like ...... More like ......! ”

Lin Fan looked at Lin Ruxian with a weak heart, and saw that he didn't mean to stop him, so he continued with confidence: "It's more like the official army!"

"Moreover, we have been guarding the river for a whole day, and it is said that reinforcements should have arrived. But not only did the Jiangnan Provincial Navy Division battalion not move, but even when the reinforcements arrived, the remaining dozens of bandits were killed by them, and not even a single one was left alive. I didn't think there was anything at the time, but looking back on it now, it's really incredible! ”

Lin Ruxian listened to him quietly, and then said calmly: "Finished?"

He laughed, "Actually, I know what you're trying to say, and you're right. There are indeed people in the court who don't want me to reach the capital alive, and those water bandits are also pretending to be officials and soldiers, and there should be people from them in the camp of the Jiangnan Provincial Water Division. If my guess is correct, these people should be your husband's opponents in the court! ”

Although Lin Fan was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised, "Could it be that even that Zhou Pingchuan is their person, so why did he save us?" ”

"That's not it, how can you say that people have saved us, if he is also one of those people, there is no need to send troops to save us. I think Zhou Pingchuan should be afraid of getting into trouble and don't want to get involved in this matter, so he made a killer. Only by leaving no living mouth can he stay out of the matter safely, so as not to be liquidated in the future. Lin Ruxian told his guess.

In fact, it is! On the day of the incident, Yang Chunrong, another naval staff general, was on duty and was in charge of the defense of the battalion.

When Jiangxin was fighting fiercely, the soldiers patrolling the riverside discovered the abnormality and reported it to the camp, but he suppressed it.

Thanks to a person who belonged to Zhou Pingchuan later, he had an extra heart, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he reported the matter to him.

Involving the life and death of the court officials, Zhou Pingchuan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly found the commander of the water division to report in detail.

The commander of the water division was taken aback when he heard the news, so he hurriedly ordered Zhou Pingchuan to lead the army to reinforce. If it had been delayed for another half an hour, I am afraid it would have been too late.

"Since your entry into Beijing is risky, father, why should you risk your life?" Lin Fan said worriedly.

Lin Ruxian was indifferent: "Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Since they didn't succeed the first time, there will be no second chance. ”

"Officials at all levels along the way have their duties, and none of them will want me to die in their jurisdiction, and they will definitely strengthen the garrison. And this matter will definitely alarm the imperial court, even if it is for self-preservation, those people will not dare to make other moves. ”

"But what if they take the risk?" Lin Fan was still worried.

Lin Ruxian sneered, "Haha, then I'm going to go even more." If I can lure the snake out of the hole, why should I use my body as bait? ”

"But I don't think they have the guts! And, even if they do, I have a solution! As for what, you don't care. Just know that I'm not going to risk your mother's life! ”

When Lin Fan heard this, he was a little relieved. However, he didn't notice that a trace of worry quietly flashed in Lin Ruxian's eyes!

Seeing that Lin Ruxian had made up his mind, Lin Fan couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to say: "Then father, take care of your mother, and ...... Don't forget to take care of yourself, too! ”

Speaking of the Gu family, a ray of tenderness flashed in Lin Ruxian's heart, and he nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Lin Fan with eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and suddenly sighed and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Lin Fan's body was shocked, and he had to answer: "Yes, the child is not only here for this matter, but also for resignation!"

"I plan to take An Ning and Wang Hu to Anzhou in a while. Since my mother hasn't woken up yet, I won't bother her! You can tell her for me. The boy is leaving! ”

Lin Ruxian snorted, his eyes were shining, and his voice softened.

"Well, I know you don't want to live under my wing, you want to work your own. This is also beneficial, although the Lin family is powerful, if you take advantage of the Lin family's momentum, you will be guarded everywhere in the officialdom in the future, which is not conducive to your promotion. It's better for the Lin clan forces to help you in the shadows, so that you can act conveniently! ”

"And it's better to separate so that you too can be safer. But in the future, when you are outside, your mother and I are not around, so take good care of yourself! ”

Lin Fan choked, he knelt down and touched the ground with his head, "The child knows!" ”

Lin Ruxian smiled: "Silly boy, you don't have to be like this. Get up and get busy! ”

"Yes, father. Retire the child! Lin Fan wiped away his tears and got up to leave.

Lin Ruxian sat on the chair and didn't get up, but his eyes kept following Lin Fan away, and when Lin Fan left his sight, he said softly to the screen behind him: "Come out, my son is gone!"

I saw Gu's figure slowly emerging from behind the screen, and at this time, she was already in tears, speechless and choking, looking extremely helpless.

Because she knows that from today onwards, mother and son will be separated, and the ends of the world will be separated! Even if we can see each other again, it is still unknown.

Lin Ruxian looked at her apologetically, got up and walked to her, and took her in his arms with pity.

Another day, after the Gu family had adjusted their bodies, Lin Ruxian and his wife also continued to set off and went to the capital.

At the same time, when Lin Ruxian was still on his way to Beijing, the news of his attack had already spread to the capital, shocking the government and the opposition for a while.

Ignoring the laws of the court in broad daylight, he rebelled and rebelled, intending to kill the court officials. This has never happened since the enthronement of the Holy One today!

When His Majesty saw the report, Long Yan was furious, and angrily threw the report directly on the face of the commander of the Tsing Yi Guard, and ordered the Tsing Yi Wei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Tsing Yi Wei was dispatched, making a fuss, making everyone in the government and the opposition in danger.

More than a month later, the results of the investigation came out, and the official government made a public announcement.

The list said that these bandits were originally soldiers of the Qizhou Water Guard Division Battalion in Huainan Province, and because they were dissatisfied with the boss's deduction of food and wages, they pretended to be water bandits under the leadership of the battalion's generals and plundered passing merchants.

In addition, they also colluded with Yang Chunrong, the general of the Jiangnan Provincial Water Division, with a lot of money, and under the desire for profit, the Jiangnan Provincial Water Division sat idly by and ignored their actions, making them even more unscrupulous.

This attack on Lin Ruxian also noticed that there were big people on the official ship and thought it was profitable, so it attracted the attention of the official ship.

As a result, Zhu Hong, the commander of Qizhou Wei, was dismissed and imprisoned for corruption and dereliction of duty, and was never to be used; Yang Chunrong, the general of the Jiangnan Provincial Water Division, was corrected on the spot.

The dozens of water bandits who fled were also found in a valley in Qizhou, and under the encirclement and suppression of the large army, including the general, none of them escaped the net, and all of them were annihilated.

This incident is now over, as for the truth of the matter, I am afraid only the parties know!

Of course, the above is an afterthought, and let's get down to business.

It is said that after Lin Fan and the others said goodbye to Lin Ruxian, the three of them rode their horses, and in just a few days, they came to Anzhou City.

After entering the city, Lin Fan went to the government to exchange documents. The clerk's office in the government office was a little surprised to see that the three of them were injured, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

However, this person has been ushered in all these years, and he has seen many big people, although it is a little strange for Lin Fan, a mere nine-grade official, he will not pay too much attention to it. didn't ask much, just went through the formalities as usual, and impatiently sent a few people out.

Although he was kicked out, Lin Fan didn't care. The three of them had nothing to do, so they simply wandered around the city and watched the streets where people came and went. Lin Fan looked at An Ning and Wang Hu and asked, "Based on what you saw along the way, what do you think of this Anzhou compared to Jiangzhou?"

An Ning observed extremely carefully, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Young Master, although this Anzhou City seems to be lively and prosperous, its practitioners are all in a hurry and they are in a hurry, which shows that the people are in distress. Moreover, there is almost no sound of selling along the street, and there are very few shops on both sides, which shows that all industries are withering; Compared with the wealth of Jiangzhou, it can be said that it is far behind! ”

Wang Hu thought the same, but his tongue was clumsy, and he was not as eloquent as An Ning, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Lin Fan also nodded, and said tentatively: "This Anzhou City is the main city of a state, and the people's livelihood is still so withered, so we can know what will happen to Yongyang County!"

"Let's come this time, but be prepared to endure hardships! You're still willing to go with me, as you saw the other day, and this is really going to die! ”

Both of them also laughed a little when they heard this, but they had already prepared before they came, so their minds were not affected and wavered.

Although the troubled times are hard, it is also a good opportunity to make contributions, even if you die here, as a man, it is not in vain to go through the world!

The events of the past few days have inspired the fighting spirit of the two even more, and they want to do something about it.

An Ning said: "The young master knows our intentions, so there is no need to test us, we swear to follow the young master to the death, although there is no resentment in death!"

Lin Fan looked at the two of them who were becoming more and more determined, and put his heart at ease. I was worried that they would become depressed because of the battle a few days ago, but now it seems that I am too worried!

Lin Fan laughed: "Okay! No matter what, let us go together to make contributions and seek a place in this troubled world! ”

After clarifying their intentions, the three of them looked at each other and laughed together, causing passers-by on the street to look sideways.

A few people were embarrassed to be stared at, so they had to sneak into a tavern, order some wine and food, and drink heartily. In addition to celebrating, it can also be regarded as washing the fatigue of the journey for several days.
