The little official ran very quickly, swaying on the gangplank and almost falling into the river, but the boatman standing nearby pulled it, so that he did not lose his temper, and Wang Kui frowned and scolded.

"Why are you so alarmed? How can the court officials be so undignified? ”

The little official hurriedly bent down and arched his hand, and said hurriedly: "My lord, forgive my sins, and I have something important to report!" ”

Wang Kui snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Speak!" ”

"Lord Jia Rudaojia, the deputy envoy of the system along the river, is waiting not far from the wharf, and the magistrates of Ezhou, Tongju, and Tidian Prison are also waiting over there, and I heard from the people over there that they have been waiting there since the beginning of the Shen period." The little official wiped his sweat and said.

"Jia Rudao? How did he come? This time it was Wang Kui's turn to be surprised, he was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "At the beginning of Shen Shi? Isn't that an hour's wait? ”

The little official raised his head slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Kui again, wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak, and then lowered his head again.

Changsun Hong saw the doorway, he knew that Wang Kui was not a flamboyant person, and he only sent someone to inform Ezhou Zhizhou when he got off the boat in Ezhou for the night, and did not notify others, and Jia Rudao was the deputy envoy and Zhijiangzhou along the river.

So why is he waiting here?

Admiring Wang Kui?

Eldest Sun Hong shook his head and pulled it down.

Why, exactly?

Looking at the appearance of the little official who wanted to speak and stopped, the eldest grandson Hong had ominous thoughts surging in his heart.

Jiangzhou is in the south of Ezhou, to go from Jiangzhou to Lin'an, Ezhou is the only way to go, if Jia Rudao also received the order to go to Beijing, it is understandable to appear here, but the timing is too coincidental.

Wang Kui can play with a big knife, but he is a civil official, thick and fine, although he reacts a little slower than Changsun Hong, but he also immediately saw the embarrassment of the little official, and immediately asked: "What else is going on?" Say it! ”

The little official wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "The villain is on the shore, and when I see a large number of officers and soldiers behind Master Jia, they are violent, and all the magistrates in Ezhou are shrunk to the side, like that, it seems that ...... It doesn't look like welcoming an adult. ”

Soldiers?

Wang Kui's eyes suddenly became cold, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the shore, in the evening dusk, the light was dim, but the empty street in the distance was indeed full of torches, and many people gathered there.

Across the dock on the shore, there was no one to be seen, and it was impossible to count the number of people.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Kui sent the little official: "You go down, I know." ”

Then he turned his head and asked Changsun Hong: "Second brother, do you know what's going on?" ”

At this time, Changsun Hong has already sorted out the context, and the bloody case on the bank of the Dadu River has come to his heart, and the shadow behind the killed smuggler is the Jia family.

Needless to say, this is here to find fault.

Jia seems to be the same, the ruler of the two dynasties, it seems that this is connected to him.

In the information that came up from Na Tuozhi and Li Guibao, it was said that the Jia family died by the Dadu River was a son and nephew, who was the leader of the younger generation, and when he counted his age, he was probably about the same age as Jia Yidao, and it may be a brother or not.

Changsun Hong frowned lightly and sighed, this matter has been reported to the Criminal Department according to the channel of the big case, and he explained in detail what happened to the imperial court, hoping to clear the suspicion of Xichuan Salt Prison, but today, it seems that the effect is not good.

At least Jia Rudao didn't believe it.

Hearing Wang Kui ask, Changsun Hong mentioned this matter.

Wang Kui also knew about this, but because of the passage of time, he forgot about it, and when he heard it at the moment, he immediately understood.

"Isn't this basin of pouring on us?" Wang Kui scolded a foul mouth: "The case done by the thief Xiangma is about our?" We make money and do business, why do we have to do such stupid things, Jia Yidao won't think about it? ”

Changsun Hong shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "If you and I were in Jia Nidao's position, I would have asked someone to understand, but it was a bit too much for him to transfer troops." ”

Wang Kui gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Let's go, let's go over, he is one level lower than me in terms of official positions, is it possible to embarrass me on the street?" I'll see if he has the guts! ”

As he spoke, as soon as he lifted the hem of the official uniform that he had changed into in advance in order to cope with this kind of official meeting, he jumped ashore with his teeth grinding his teeth and strode ahead.

Changsun Hong walked behind him, and a group of soldiers guarding them followed silently with their knives.

The wharves in Ezhou are more spacious than those in central Sichuan, and one berth is enough to stop hundreds of large ships, so that it takes a quarter of an hour to walk from one end of the wharf to the other. The huge warehouse stretched far from the wharf, and as far as the eye could see, the roof of the warehouse was covered with tiled roofs for temporary storage of goods, black and pressed like moss growing on the ground.

Correspondingly, the riverside street is longer than the rest of the place, the houses on both sides are lined up, one after the other, the lanterns hanging under the eaves are red and bright, and the names of the shops with the ink characters written on them are particularly eye-catching, but the time is still early, the sky is not dark, but there are few pedestrians on the street, and the shopkeepers are huddled in their own stores, probing their brains.

Seeing Wang Kui and Changsun Hong and his entourage coming from the dock, these people immediately showed excitement, although there were soldiers in front of the road, they didn't dare to stand up and point, but the expressions of the crowding by the door were afraid and happy, as if it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

"These idlers will look at us for a while, and look at the other end of the long street, it seems that there are a lot of people brought by Jia Rudao." Wang Kui snorted coldly, striding meteors, and the afterglow swept the people on both sides.

The eldest grandson Hong walked side by side with him, his face was resolute and fearless, and he responded: "The daughter of the Jia family, that is, the sister of Jia Yidao, was named a concubine by the official family, and it is the time to be favored. ”

Wang Kui scolded: "I'm afraid of him!" What about the official family protecting him? Will you be able to fly? ”

But after thinking about it, I felt that Changsun Hong was reasonable, he was a system envoy, and he had the biggest official position here, if there was really a conflict with Jia Rudao, no one would have the status to play a round.

And Changsun Hong is different, he is a regimental training envoy, and his status in the Song Dynasty is not high, but the title of Dali is not an ordinary Song Dynasty official eunuch, Jia seems to be Dao unless he risks going to war on behalf of the Song Dynasty, otherwise he will not offend Changsun Hong too much.

Once things are really out of control, Wang Kui's grade is higher than Jia Yidao, and he can stand up and say a fair word to resolve the conflict.

So he endured it for a while, Wang Kui nodded and said, "What you said is right, then you will be wronged by the second brother." ”

Changsun Hong smiled: "It's okay, but who is wronged, it's not necessarily." ”

At the end of the street, there is a large open space, where several roads leading to different directions meet, and there is a wooden sign on the side of the road for the yamen to publicize the Wen book, as well as the customs of the tax department of the transfer envoy and the security pavilion of the inspection department, but at the moment they are all empty, and I don't know where the officials on the errand have gone.

In the open space outside the wooden fence, there was a group of people standing in the black press, countless torches illuminated the dim sky as bright as day, in the light of the fire, the reflection of the spear blade was particularly dazzling, and at a glance, the red tassel of Fan Yang's hat occupied the main position in the field of vision.

Several Ezhou magistrates dressed in official mansions stood aside with embarrassed expressions, bowing their heads and not coming out, while a young man, dressed in a round-necked vermilion official uniform, wearing a domed and hard-footed head, a leather belt around his waist, and a jade sword and leather shoes, Qi Yuxuan raised his head and stood proudly in front of everyone.

The scene was silent, only the footsteps of Wang Kui and others came from far and near.

The young official was none other than Jia Nidao, who was currently the deputy envoy of the Yanjiang system, and he looked at the people in the middle of the river who were striding in front of him, and two vicious lights suddenly burst out in his slit-like eyes.
