Chapter 545: Tell the Truth
Youlan seems to be a little restless these days, and when she is fine, she is always distracted, looking preoccupied. Net??
Since seeing the secret contact between Li Hongyu and Zhang Shenghui that night, Youlan couldn't sleep and eat, and secretly thought about Li Hongyu's identity.
To be honest, in addition to knowing that Li Hongyu is a member of the Huguang family and a talented man, Youlan actually doesn't know Li Hongyu's life experience, and Li Hongyu doesn't mention it much.
Thinking about it now, Youlan doesn't know much about Li Hongyu, except that she knows that Li Hongyu is talented and resourceful, she doesn't know anything else.
Therefore, Youlan couldn't help but worry that Li Hongyu would be unfavorable to the people in Jilong Port, when Li Hongyu chose to stay in Jilong Port to teach, she was secretly happy, and now it seems that Li Hongyu has other plans.
Youlan originally wanted to tell Chen Ah Da about this matter, but she quickly denied this approach, once Li Hongyu came to Jilong Harbor for a purpose that was not pure, he would probably be executed, which was not something she wanted to see.
Because she didn't know Li Hongyu's identity, Youlan couldn't help but start thinking crankily in her heart, she even thought that Li Hongyu had already known her identity, and deliberately approached her after the Oiran Conference, and then took advantage of Liu Haiying's desire to take her back to Jilong Port and was deliberately hijacked by Liu Haiying, and then broke into the interior of Jilong Port in one fell swoop and became a respected teacher.
In this way, Li Hongyu's various things about her before were fake, and she was just acting on the spot, which was the most unacceptable thing for Youlan, and she couldn't tolerate Li Hongyu's feelings for deceiving her.
After a few days, Youlan, who was full of worries, lost weight because she didn't think about tea and dinner, listless, and tired.
Liu Bihua thought that Youlan was sick, so she dragged her to see the doctor, but the doctor didn't find any problems, so it was naturally impossible to know that this was Youlan's heart disease.
Li Hongyu saw all this in his eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely sorry for Youlan, he naturally knew what was going on, when he went out with Zhang Shenghui that night, he already knew that Youlan was following behind, and he deliberately didn't break it.
After such a long period of observation, Li Hongyu felt that he could trust Youlan, so he was ready to tell her his identity in order to get her help, so that the matter of Jilong Harbor could be properly resolved.
It just so happened that Li Hongyu deliberately leaked some news to Youlan when Zhang Shenghui came this time, wanting to see her reaction.
The result made Li Hongyu very pleased, Youlan did not tell anyone about him meeting Zhang Shenghui in private, and at the same time felt remorseful, because this made Youlan choose to bear it alone, so that she was described as haggard.
Therefore, Li Hongyu decided to untie Youlan's heart knot in order to enlist Youlan's help, otherwise it would be difficult for him to take care of Xiaoliuqiu's affairs alone.
Besides, if Li Hongyu wants to appease Xiaoliuqiu's people in the future, he must show enough sincerity, at least to hold Liu Dahai's people firmly, and Youlan will have a significant impact on Liu Dahai and Youlan's father after knowing his identity, which is conducive to his appeasement.
Early in the morning, Li Hongyu asked Youlan to help him prepare some incense, candles, paper money, wine and other things to commemorate the deceased, saying that he would use them at night.
Youlan was quite surprised by this, and it was difficult to ask who Li Hongyu wanted to mourn, so she asked the maids around her to prepare.
At night, in the dead of night, the bright moon hangs high, and the backyard of the private school.
Li Hongyu placed the incense case in the northeast direction and solemnly worshiped in the northeast direction, of course he was paying tribute to the soldiers of the Ming army who died in the recent Liaodong War.
Because he served as the governor of Liaodong back then, many of the generals who died in this battle, Li Hongyu, knew each other, and had experienced the Battle of Sarhu or the Battle of Tieling, so it was normal for Li Hongyu to worship them.
Youlan, who was standing on the side, felt that the atmosphere at the scene was quite solemn, so she looked at Li Hongyu suspiciously, secretly guessing who Li Hongyu was worshipping.
Because he had something to tell Youlan, Li Hongyu asked others, including Li Bihua and others, to avoid it, and everyone knew that he wanted to be alone with Youlan, so he avoided it with fun, and the scene was Li Hongyu and Youlan.
"Brothers, go all the way, your blood will not be shed in vain, I will definitely recapture Liaodong, and set up a festival in Liaoyang to commemorate you at that time."
Under Youlan's suspicious gaze, Li Hongyu picked up a glass of wine, saluted to the northeast after it was full, and said in a deep voice, "These three glasses of wine are even practiced for you." ”
As he spoke, Li Hongyu flipped his wrist and poured the wine in the wine glass on the ground, his expression quite solemn.
"Retake Liaodong?"
When Youlan heard Li Hongyu's words, her eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and she didn't understand what Li Hongyu meant for a while, what does Li Hongyu have to do with Liaodong? Why recapture Liaodong? Who is he going to pay tribute to?
At this moment, countless questions appeared in Youlan's heart, and she was confused by Li Hongyu's words.
"The official knows that you are short of money, so I will burn some paper money for you, although it is not much, but it is enough to drink a few meals!" Li Hongyu toasted three glasses of wine in a row, then squatted on the ground and burned paper money in the brazier, and said in a deep voice.
"Ben...... This officer? ”
Youlan was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, and looked at Li Hongyu in disbelief, only officials of the government are called like this, could it be that Li Hongyu is from the government?
In this way, is Li Hongyu a spy sent by the government to Xiaoliuqiu Island? Youlan's heart was confused for a while, and she felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation, which made her breathless.
Can...... But why did Li Hongyu tell her such a secret thing, wasn't he afraid that she would tell others? Youlan looked at Li Hongyu with a complicated expression, and her mind was blank.
"Miss Xin'er, let's burn a few pieces of paper money for the soldiers who died in Liaodong, it's freezing there, so that they can drink a few bowls of wine to keep warm."
Li Hongyu picked up a new stack of new ones after putting the valuable money in his hand in the brazier, looked up and said to Youlan who was looking at him in astonishment, "I will tell you everything." ”
Youlan came back to her senses when she heard this, bit her lip and came to Li Hongyu's side, and also picked up a stack of paper money and burned it in the brazier, her eyes were a little red for some reason, how afraid she was that Li Hongyu said that he was a spy sent by the government to exterminate the Xiaoliuqiu pirates and armed smugglers.
"I am from Huguang, although I also have the surname Li, I am not called Li Sheng, Li Sheng is a pseudonym for my convenience."
Li Hongyu threw paper money into the brazier, and said in a deep voice, "My hometown is in Xiangyang Mansion in Huguang, Wanli forty-seven years to the capital to catch the exam, thanks to God's blessing to win the champion, because of the rebellion in Liaodong by Wanli Ye was sent to Liaodong as a governor, and later was ordered by the emperor to take over the customs department, intending to open up the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade waterway. ”
When Li Hongyu said that he had won the 47th year of Wanli, Youlan's body froze there, her eyes showed an unbelievable look, and she looked at Li Hongyu with a stunned face, she had been in Jiangnan for a while, so she naturally knew who the champion of Wanli 47 years was.
"Last year, I set off south to Jiangnan, and in order to understand the current situation of smuggling in the Ming Sea, I assumed the pseudonym 'Li Sheng', and I didn't expect to meet you."
Li Hongyu knew that Youlan must have been frightened by his words, but he had to say those words to Youlan, so he smiled bitterly and continued, "I wouldn't have thought that the Sea Eagle Brothers would come to Shanghai County for you, and end up here by mistake." ”
"The boss Wang who came before was recruited by me in code, his identity is the big shopkeeper of the Fujian general account of Honghai Firm, and now I am alone here and have no communication with the outside world, and some things must be passed through him."
As he spoke, Li Hongyu turned his head to look at Youlan and said with a wry smile, "People are in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself!" ”
"You...... Are you really ...... Is it really Scholar Lee? ”
Youlan came back from shock, and looked at Li Hongyu with some disbelief, she really couldn't believe that this polite scholar in front of her was the champion who killed the Quartet in Liaodong and forced Jiannu to move the capital!
"It's like a fake."
Li Hongyu smiled bitterly, looked at Youlan and said, "Otherwise, how can you escape from Shanghai County?" ”
Youlan was stunned when she heard this, no wonder the soldiers of the Customs Department and the Navy Division did not dare to act rashly when they left the county seat of Shanghai County, it turned out that it was because Liu Haiying kidnapped Scholar Li.
Now that I think about it, the military attache of the Customs Department at that time changed his expression greatly after Liu Haiying kidnapped Li Hongyu, and he actually let Liu Haiying and his party go without the reply of his boss, and he didn't see the Customs Department give an order to the military attache until everyone left by boat, which was completely unreasonable.
You must know that the county seat of Shanghai County is not large, but the adults of the Customs Department have not given any orders to the military attache in commanding the army, Youlan just felt lucky at first, and attributed the reason to the government's procrastination and unwillingness to take responsibility.
It wasn't until Li Hongyu revealed the truth that Youlan understood that it was not the people from the Yamen of the Customs Department who were procrastinating, but that Li Hongyu had already given an order at that time, but he didn't think that Li Hongyu would be abducted by Liu Haiying.
Youlan felt that her heart was a mess, what Li Hongyu was saying to her now was so shocking, she couldn't imagine that the high-ranking and powerful auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty would appear in Jilonggang and become a private school teacher, you must know that Li Hongyu is the emperor's teacher!
"You...... Why did you change me at the time? Trying to stabilize her excited state of mind, Youlan remembered something, bit her lip and looked at Li Hongyu, "Did you already know that I was from Jilong Harbor?" ”
"I brought you to Shanghai County, I should naturally ensure your safety, even if it is someone else, I will do it."
Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, looked at Youlan with a depressed face and said, "Before that, I just suspected that you were sent by the smuggling forces in Ningbo, but I didn't expect you to be from Jilong Port, and by the way, I also took me to Jilong Port, and the Customs Department almost turned the sky upside down." ”
"Xin'er, do you think the people of Chicken Coop Harbor are worth my fight?" As he spoke, Li Hongyu's expression turned grim, and he asked Youlan with a straight face.
When Youlan heard this, she was speechless for a while, Li Hongyugui is a member of the Ming Dynasty, a dignified auxiliary minister, how could he be committed to a small chicken coop port?
Therefore, Li Hongyu's appearance in Jilong Port was an out-and-out accident, and a sudden incident that almost turned the Customs Department upside down.
