After the matter was resolved, Xu Jiang asked, "My lord, what should I do with this ship?" ”

Li Xiuwen looked at his ship, which was already burned black, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and put out the fire in time, so that people would not burn the ship, and the merchant ship could still be on the road, so he said: "Sink." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Let them be stained with light and accompany Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to sleep in this Grand Canal.

Li Xiuwen is not destroying the corpse. In fact, this group of water thieves is an outlaw, and they may not have carried many murders. During this period, killing officials was tantamount to rebellion, not to mention that they were attacking Jinyiwei?

It's just that this errand has to be kept secret after all, but it is not good to make a big deal out of it, alarm the local government, and then expose the identity.

Except for the few brocade guards who fell and were seriously injured, the others were only slightly injured, and they could have been bandaged on the ship. After disposing of the corpses of the water thieves, Li Xiuwen's merchant ship continued on its way.

On the merchant ship, Xu Jiang asked, "My lord, who wants to harm us?" ”

The corners of Li Xiuwen's lips were clear, and he sneered: "If what I expected, this person is from the capital. ”

"Beijing?"

"That's right, they're coming for me!"

Li Xiuwen bowed his head lightly and said, "Don't worry, our Lord Xiao must have been investigating this matter." ”

Beijing, North Town Fusi Yamen.

In the main hall, on the big white tiger skin chair, Xiao Yun was now calming Xiao Yun sitting sideways, his face expressionless, even with a little coldness.

In front of him, Fang Ning, the deputy of Jinyi Guard, was reporting to him.

"Is the information true?"

When he learned the news that Li Xiuwen might have been attacked, Xiao Yun asked in a deep voice.

"It's true!" Fang Ning replied.

Xiao Yun stood up from his chair and ordered: "Send someone to Texas to find out, if Li Baihu is killed, this official will immediately ask the emperor to take someone!" ”

"Yes!" After Fang Ning got the order, he retreated.

Although the Grand Canal leads directly from the capital to Hangzhou, it is not a direct connection, but a navigation water system that connects rivers in various places, and it takes about half a month to reach Hangzhou.

Every time he passed through the checkpoints along the way, because it was not an official ship, he had to let those people exploit him, and Li Xiuwen was not easy to show his identity.

In fact, the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty did not ask anyone for money, and there were three kinds of people who did not need to be charged. The first is that the leader's ship is not accepted, the second is the eunuch's ship, and the third is the Jinshi and the people's boat.

It's a pity that Li Xiuwen only has the fame of all life, and he still has to be charged.

Along the canal, many palaces were built. These palaces were originally intended for the emperor to travel and rest on his daily journey. But among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, few were able to leave the capital.

Not to mention the capital, even if it is difficult to get out of the palace, there will be a group of "loyal" ministers who will try their best to dissuade the emperor from making such "dangerous" behavior. The beautiful name says: The son of a daughter can't sit down.

As a result, the palace is often vacant, and it costs a lot of money every year to repair it.

The Son of Heaven must live in the palace when traveling, and the ministers must live in the post house when they travel. However, at this time, the post house had already been abolished by Zhu Youzhen on a large scale. This has nothing to do with Li Xiuwen, he is now a businessman, just find a place to rest along the way.

This trip was more boring, Li Xiuwen didn't bring beautiful dependents, and he was accompanied by a bunch of rough people, and he couldn't even find anyone who could play chess, which made him depressed. After learning from the pain, he secretly swore in his heart that he must bring a girl who understands her words when he travels next time.

After half a month's journey, Li Xiuwen's merchant ship finally arrived at its destination - Shanghai.

Looking at the small town in front of him, there was no resemblance to the big city in his memory in his previous life, Li Xiuwen suddenly felt like a world away. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart, and muttered, "Is that all?" ”

"yes, it's too small."

Xu Jiang also felt that this town was really shabby, so he agreed with his words very much and echoed it.

Li Xiuwen came back to his senses when he heard this, but just looked at him and smiled, and did not explain out loud.

How does he explain this kind of thing?

"Huh?"

Li Xiuwen suddenly looked puzzled. He saw someone in front of him to greet him, and the scene seemed to be not small. It doesn't make sense, I haven't revealed my identity, these people shouldn't be welcoming you, right?

After the ship docked, Li Xiuwen found that those people were indeed here to greet him.

I saw the person standing at the front of the team, wearing a scarlet official robe, and a cloud goose on the complement on his chest.

Of course, Li Xiuwen couldn't recognize what kind of bird it was. But he knew that this person should be the prefect of Songjiang Mansion. He had seen Ma Mingda's official uniform, which was the same as the person in front of him.

Sure enough, the man greeted him and said, "Yu Xingyan, the prefect of Songjiang, has seen Lord Qincha!" ”

Li Xiuwen knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. I had to greet him and said, "Lord Yu is polite." ”

After exchanging a few polite words with this group of officials, Li Xiuwen learned that they had prepared a banquet for themselves.

When you arrive in Shanghai, you must eat hairy crabs.

People say that female crabs are eaten in September and male crabs are eaten in October. At this time, it was the middle of September, and Li Xiuwen naturally ate female crabs.

During the banquet, they inquired side by side, wanting to know what kind of errand this Qin messenger was doing. Li Xiuwen started to push Tai Chi, and he didn't reveal any useful information to them.

At night, Sun Mingwen, who had been instructed by Li Xiuwen earlier and went out for a trip, came back.

Ding Xiaocheng, as a striker this time, rushed to Songjiang Mansion as early as yesterday to inquire about the news for Li Xiuwen.

The Hawkeye Organization is a force secretly formed by Li Xiuwen, so it is naturally inconvenient for outsiders to know. This time, with Xu Jiang and his party by his side, he had to be connected by Sun Mingwen.

In the room, Li Xiuwen asked, "Did they hear the news?" ”

Sun Mingwen nodded and said: "Songjiang Mansion has been governed well in the past few years, the prefect Fang Yuegong is an honest official, and he has also made great achievements in governing Songjiang Mansion, and is deeply loved by the people, and the people have also built a 'meritorious temple' for him." Although Yu Xingyan, the prefect of this office, is far inferior to him, he does not have too many bad deeds......"

After listening to the news brought by Sun Mingwen, Li Xiuwen had a bottom in his heart. He was on the emperor's errand, although he had the heart to deal with things. But you can't just wander around and do practical things, otherwise you won't be able to pay the difference when you go back to Beijing.

It is not easy to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that in this troubled era, there is an emperor like Zhu Youzhen, and the officials in the court are often replaced. Since there is nothing wrong with this in the prefect's mansion, he will not take the small problems seriously, and he will pass with a blind eye.

There was no entertainment, no electricity, and the night was pitch black, and there really seemed to be nothing else to do but sleep.

After sending Sun Mingwen away, Li Xiuwen was ready to rest.

Tomorrow, he will rush to Suzhou. (To be continued.) )
