In the early morning of the next day, it was approaching, at the southern end of Pingyang County, Aojiangkou Fishing Port.

There are early fishermen who are carrying freshwater vegetables and other supplies, preparing to go out to sea to fish;

A fishing boat returning from the evening was carrying buckets of live fish ashore;

There are fishmongers who buy seafood and are pushing carts back and forth;

Near the fishing port, there are many fishermen who put all kinds of seafood on small wooden boards and sell them loudly, and the whole port is busy inside and outside.

At this moment, two carriages, one after the other, hurried to the fishing port from the official road in the direction of the county seat.

The first car, the head catcher Xie Zhenggang and the master Wu Shiqi of Pingyang County, Zhang Bin, Xiaoyun, Xiaofengxian, and Xiaoliu Aunt were crowded into a pile in the car;

In the second car, the servants Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru drove the car, and there were only Zhang Fengxian's parents and younger brother Erhu in the car, which was relatively relaxed.

Fortunately, Pingyang County is not very far from the mouth of the Ao River, otherwise, so many people would have to be paralyzed from the horse.

On the first carriage, Xiaoyun and Xiaofengxian were still weeping in Zhang Bin's arms, while Zhang Bin could only enjoy the warm fragrant nephrite and endure the unspeakable rough movements, while whispering comfort.

Sometimes, when a person is accustomed to being embraced and has nothing to do, he will want to burrow into that person's arms at every turn, and this is true for children and girls.

Aunt Xiao Liu sat in the corner on the side, looking at the three of them with a smile, her face full of memories.

Isn't it the same when the fifth girl was a child, she drilled into her arms at every turn, no matter where she went to play, she had to hold it.

At this time, he has grown up and can hug girls, I don't know when I can let Xiaoyun and Xiaofengxian give birth to a few dolls to hug him.

Zhang Bin wants to know the thoughts of Aunt Xiaoliu, it is estimated that he can spurt out a mouthful of blood, where does he have the heart to think about making dolls at this time, he is having a headache.

This woman is really made of water, and when something happens, the tears are like an open faucet, and they can't be turned off.

Xiao Fengxian cried, it is understandable, after all, she already has the idea of making a promise to herself, and she is about to leave when she is about to be like glue, and it is normal to be uncomfortable.

Xiaoyun also cried, he couldn't understand it, are you a girl, it's only been a few days since you knew Xiao Fengxian, is it so difficult to give up?

He was trying his best to comfort the two of them, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and Xie Zhenggang shouted outside: "Lord County Commander, the dock has arrived." ”

Zhang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, he moved Xiao Yun and Xiao Fengxian to the opposite side, got out of the carriage with the cat on his waist, and then helped the three people in the carriage down one by one.

It is not very strange that two horse-drawn carriages come to the fishing port early in the morning, this fishing port is also equivalent to a morning market, and there are often large families who send people to buy seafood, and it is not very rare for horse-drawn carriages or something.

However, when they saw the people driving, the fishermen and street vendors in the port couldn't help but be a little surprised, because the people who drove were officials!

It is twenty or thirty miles away from the county seat, and the fishermen rarely go to the county seat to wander around, and there is no one who knows the county commander, and no one even knows the famous Xie Zhutou in Pingyang County, but this group of people has an official errand to open the way, and the people on the dock are just curious to watch, but no one dares to come forward to provoke them.

Zhang Bin is also quite curious about the fishing port wharf here, he has never seen the captain of the fishing boat in his two lives.

While comforting the two girls, he looked around curiously, and he felt fresh in the tall fishing boat, the wooden barrel containing the fish, and even the lively sea fish in the wooden barrel.

It seems that the technical level of the Ming Dynasty is not bad, it can be seen from the fishing boats anchored near the port, the fishing boats here, the small ones are six or seven meters long, and the big ones are even more than ten meters, and more than ten or twenty people don't feel crowded when they stand on it, so to speak, the big ones are a little scary.

You know, this is just a fishing boat controlled by ordinary people, although it is to fish in the sea, it must be built bigger, but there are so many large fishing boats in one county alone, which is enough to prove how strong Daming's shipbuilding capacity is.

When everyone arrived at the port wharf, the fishing market was almost over, the fishing boats that were going to sea had slowly left the wharf, and the vendors near the port were slowly packing up their stalls and preparing to go home.

Generally, the fresh market by the sea is traded in the early hours of the morning, because there is no refrigerator at this time, and ice is also a rare thing in the south, and as soon as the sun comes out, this fresh food is no longer fresh.

Perhaps it was because the sky was still a little dark at this time and the fishermen were almost gone, that Zhang Bin's father chose to send a boat to pick up people at this time.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Fengxian were still wiping their tears, but they didn't drill into Zhang Bin's arms anymore at this time, after all, this was outside, and the girls at this time were still quite reserved.

And Xiao Fengxian's parents seem to have acquiesced to the relationship between Zhang Bin and Xiao Fengxian, even if Xiao Fengxian can only be Zhang Bin's concubine, it is all their ancestral tomb that is smoking.

You must know that Zhang Bin was born as a Jinshi, and he became a county magistrate at a young age, so it can be said that the future is limitless, and their family is just an ordinary farmer, and it is a miracle to be able to climb such a high-ranking official.

Parting is always sad, Xiao Fengxian seems to have endless words to confide in Zhang Bin, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain simply melts Zhang Bin's heart.

At this time, in the prison of the county government, a parting scene was also being staged, but the scene was not as touching as the port wharf.

Zhao Ergou was sleeping there, when the cell door was suddenly opened, and the jailer yelled at the door: "Get up quickly, still sleep, everyone is almost gone." ”

When Zhao Ergou heard this, he got up violently and stumbled out, he really didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment.

However, as soon as he ran out of the cell door, he was stopped by a jailer before he reached the door, and the jailer dragged him directly to the small table next to him, pointed to the above confession, and said, "What's the hurry, sign this first." ”

Zhao Ergou secretly glanced out of the door, and at this time, Xu Hui and the four guards were all in the courtyard outside, and they were talking to Hu Jiang and Cao Zhengliang, the county magistrate, and it seemed that he was waiting for him alone.

Seeing this scene, he quickly dipped his thumb in some ink, and directly pressed a fingerprint on the confession, he was a ruffian, naturally he couldn't sign, so he could only use this instead.

After he pressed his handprint, another jailer next to him immediately picked up his confession and walked out, as if to ask Master Dianshi to confirm it.

Zhao Ergou wanted to go out with him, the other jailer just pulled him and didn't let go, and finally Lord Dian Shi nodded after reading the confession, he was about to get rid of the jailer and run out, when four officials suddenly rushed in outside, two of them grabbed his arm directly with his empty hand and pressed it on the ground, and the other two hooked his foot with a wooden staff, and he fell to the ground.

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a "pop", and suddenly there was a heavy board on his buttocks, and then the board kept falling.

"Ah, what are you doing, ah, let go of me, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah......."

After beating a hundred boards, Zhao Ergou has no strength to howl, so he can only lie there and hum, this is still the mercy of the servants who beat the boards, if you really fight hard, a hundred boards down, you can beat him to death.

At this time, Xu Hui came over and snorted coldly: "Honestly bear the charge, I guarantee that your family will have no worries about food and clothing, otherwise, hum." ”

With that, he just turned around and left.

Zhao Ergou looked at Xu Hui's back blankly, silent, but the tears fell from the brush.

He knew that his life was over.
