Chapter 51: The Fish Takes the Bait.

Fang Yun knew since he saw King Huainan that there must be someone behind him, but who it would be, this is uncertain, of course, the most likely one is the one in the palace, who had a meal in the palace of King Huainan, and the two chatted about the topic of unusually unnutritious, but when eating, there were many dancing girls dancing gracefully, which was very good, although before leaving, King Huainan also asked one of the most beautiful dancers to serve him, but he still refused, after all, Fang Yun was not interested in receiving second-hand goods.

"Is the food okay?" Fang Yun walked on the street with Song Changdao with his hands behind his back, to see the surrounding scene, there was no cavalry behind him, after all, he had been on the road for a long time, it was better to rest while he was free, and he never thought that there would be guards to follow, Song Changdao came in time, he could rest at ease now.

"It's good, there is wine and meat, but the wine is so bad that no one drinks it, and the soldiers under His Highness are quite well-behaved, and no one needs to say anything about it." Song Changdao had dinner with many cavalrymen, as for whether it was poisoned or not, it would be known after a little inspection, of course, if it could not be tested, and it was colorless and tasteless, then they were unlucky.

"Aren't you also from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, I don't know that they are Yanyun Iron Riders?" Fang Yun curled his eyebrows.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't know, Yanyun Tieqi is not the same as before, Tong Guan in order to earn silver, put all kinds of rich and noble children in the grassroots of the army, a fish is not a pot of soup, but hundreds, hundreds of stinky salted fish can really stir up the water of Yanyun Tieqi, some soldiers do not accept the new captain, when the competition is held, he impulsively disabled a captain, and was killed, discharged, there are too many deserters, and the military salary is always being deducted, I don't know how many soldiers and civilians want the prince to go back from the new." Song Changdao chattered endlessly.

Fang Yun wanted to say something about this, but after thinking about it, don't worry about it, what he can think of, it is estimated that Zhuge Wuhou has already arranged it.

"Your Highness, I have said so much, and there is one more thing." Song Changdao suddenly grinned.

His Royal Highness, who instantly felt a hint of conspiracy, took a step back and snorted coldly: "Say, but it's not good, you don't care about me." ”

"Hehe, the prince misses you, and said that you should go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, as for the silver for disaster relief, I will help you arrange it, and ensure that it is not missing in the slightest."

Fang Yun shrugged his shoulders: "What guarantee do you have to guarantee that you will not miss a tael of silver, can it be that you are pretending to be me?" If I leave, how can I scare the corrupt officials in Jiangning, with you a little King Kong? ”

"The prince said that Jiangning is the hardest hit area, and he has arranged five thousand sword and shield soldiers, and he has already gone to Jiangning, nominally to arrange order......"

Fang Yun patted his forehead, this father really didn't worry about him, after all, it was the first time he went out, and now he was going to Jiangning for disaster relief, before leaving, although he said ruthlessly, he didn't worry about himself after all, Fang Yun had crossed over, but after all, he still felt a warmth, every festive season, the children who were away from home, or the old people at home would always want to be reunited.

"Do you want me to go back?"

"The prince didn't say it, but when he talked to me, he always looked to the north, I felt like I was going to shed tears, since the day you left, the prince was not in a good mood, always unhappy, playing chess with Mr. Zhuge and always regretting chess, and regretting until he won, for several days in a row, the angry Mr. Zhuge ignored him, and the vase fell three, it is estimated that there is eighteen thousand silver, and the teapot is broken four, there should be also ...."

"Stop, stop, this son will go home tomorrow, and if you don't go back, the palace will be gone." Fang Yun wanted to be happy, but from all kinds of indications, his father really favored him, and now he no longer had the slightest doubt.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the family property is still enough...."Song Changdao said with an oath, and then he was forced to stop by a cold gaze.

β€œβ€¦ Not bad for money..."

"Get out."

"I'll go back, but isn't Your Highness with you, we have to go back to sleep."

β€œβ€¦β€¦..”

King Huainan's little bit of flowery intestines, everyone knows, but Fang Yun was stunned the next day, he didn't take out an extra piece of silver, only 50,000 taels of silver, as for how much the people of Huaizhou can get, Fang Yun is really powerless, there is a Huainan King here, he really has nothing to do, unlike Jiangning, it's just a group of officials, and it's so close to Hangzhou, only those merchants can fight against him, but Jiangning can't go, Song Changdao took the cavalry, and then escorted the official silver with Wang Qiming, the household servant, and then went to Jiangning together.

Fang Yun made a plan in his heart, now there are five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, if he speeds up the horses and changes a few horses at the post station, it will not take three or four days, he will almost be able to rush home, and then accompany him for a reunion festival, and find a way to go to Jiangning, it is estimated that the slow cavalry has just arrived at that time.

When I thought of it, I did it, and said hello to everyone, "Drive!" His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who shouted loudly, rode away directly on a horse, Song Changdao belonged to the old guards of His Royal Highness the Prince, some soldiers still had an impression of it, so that they were not disgusted, and they heard that Jiangning, there were five thousand old brothers of the sword and shield battalion on the side to assist, and they were all at ease, the corner of his mouth twitched at the corner of his mouth, along the way, he estimated that it was a copper plate Don't think about being greedy, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World really didn't think about these silver, he thought that he would discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince, One person took out tens of thousands of taels of silver, but it's a big deal that you take more and I take less, but now there is no chance at all.

The household department, in charge of the country's granary and treasury, can be said to have reached the limit of real power, but the emperor came out like this, and let the military department rise, I don't know if he wants to suppress civilian officials and promote military attachΓ©s, but Wang Qiming didn't want to think about that, he just wanted to return to Bianjing safely, and he didn't want to be greedy for this silver.

……………………………………..

Fang Yun, who was fast all the way, hurried during the day and slept at night, for two days in a row, only to see how many places had been affected by natural disasters, and the further south, the more muddy he found on the official road, and the current air was still wet, even if it was a second-class war horse under him, at this moment, the speed had slowed down.

The number of victims next to the road gradually increased, and this route led to Yangzhou, and these victims also rushed there, just to survive and give a bite to eat.

At this time, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and there are not many victims, and these people are almost all because of the floods, and if the autumn harvest arrives, there is no food in the fields at home, and the landlord has to collect rent, and then there will be more victims.

Fang Yun is going home now, and it is also for this reason that the disaster relief money is not all spent when it arrives in one place, and it needs to be done slowly and arranged step by step, after all, Yangzhou and Jiangning are not Huaizhou.

His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been on the road for two days, his clothes are not neat, but at a glance he can see that he is a rich child, some of the victims who can't bear it plan to grab some things, so they go to the black hand, Fang Yun has never shown mercy to them because they are disaster victims, everyone is a human being, I don't necessarily have to give you money if I have money, he is already doing his best to improve the lives of the people in Zhejiang, selling refined salt in order to make money, and then letting it be lent to farmers, let them buy land, and strive for self-sufficiency, if he succeeds, I don't know how many people will not starve to death again, This is more than the merit of saving someone's life.

Fortunately, there are only a few people who do the black hand, Fang Yun has never been to Yangzhou City, the speed of the official road is already slow, if he goes to Yangzhou City again and takes a big boat, he may not start leaving one day, and he doesn't want to use his privileges to change other people's schedules, not to mention that even if he holds the token of King Yan, it is not necessarily good or not.

"This big brother, I don't know where there is a fishing village by the river?" Fang Yun approached the riverside on horseback, followed the footprints to a crowded place, and finally found a person.

"Fishing village, Childe, do you want to go buy fish?" Dahan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, he held the dry wood in one hand, and carried the net in the other hand, although the old fishing net has some loopholes, but the small fish can pass, the big fish can't pass, and it is enough to get a few every day, the people near the river, few people farm, generally rely on the river to fish, as long as you don't go into the water when the waves are urgent, or don't get entangled in the water and weeds, there will be no great danger to your life, after all, the people by the river, everyone is a good swimmer.

"I want to ask if there is an old fisherman who can pull me across the river." Fang Yun looked at the river, from his feet to the shore in the south, it was at least eight or nine hundred zhang wide, that is, three or four thousand meters, if he wanted to float over with light power, it was purely impossible, Fang Yun's realm really didn't reach that step, the water surface of dozens of meters was okay, such a wide distance, he didn't wait for him to reach one-tenth, he could fall into the river to feed the fish.

What's more, there has been a lot of rain recently, the river is choppy, and if the light work is not good, it is basically a wave down, so you can say goodbye, Fang Yun is also a little hesitant, I don't know if anyone dares to enter the water at this time.

Dahan looked disappointed, and tried to sell him the river carp in his hand, this fish that was more than four catties heavy, no matter how it was said, it had to be sold for twenty copper plates, after all, in this season, there are very few people who can get river fish, like this kind of rich children, often not bad for silver.

"This son is also joking, how can anyone dare to drive a boat into the river recently, I can go down the net to catch fish because of the special place, it is estimated that I can't cross the river, you buy a fish, right?" Dahan didn't want to miss this opportunity and wanted to make a lot of money.

His Royal Highness, who was a little disappointed, wanted to refuse him, but when he thought of Xiaohong in the West Lake, he agreed to him.

"It's a tael of silver, give me all these fish." When Fang Yun took out the broken silver from his arms, the big man's eyes lit up, he didn't mean to rob, he just sighed that his life was really good, these two silvers could buy a few pieces of candy for the bear children at home, and then save money, and he could buy a new cloth for his mother-in-law in the future, so that he would always say that the girls who slept at home had new clothes to wear.

Dahan hurriedly thanked, the noble son of the family is not bad for money, but he can't forget his roots, carefully pick off all the fish hanging on the net, seeing that Fang Yun has nothing to hold fish in his hand, he wanted to take off his ragged clothes, but Fang Yun waved his hand, and threw all the carp that were not dead back into the river.

The big man who listened to the successive 'poof' sounds was heartbroken.

"Childe, why did you throw it away, if you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste...."He really wanted to throw another net at this time.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "There is a custom in our family, the first net of each month, no matter how many fish you catch, all of them will be put back, and then every day of the month will be fully loaded, especially the carp, put it back, it will remember the grace, it will bring more fish over, you can try it next time." ”

Dahan picked up the dry wood again, picked up the fishing net, he had a little faith in what this boy said, after all, what he said was the Tao, go back and ask the elders in the village, maybe the harvest will really change in the future.

"I'm leaving, it seems that if you want to cross the river, you can only take Yangzhou." Fang Yun was about to leave on his horse, when the big man slapped his head violently, and the dry wood fell to the ground.

But he hurriedly said: "Don't go, Childe, recently there is a Taoist chief in the village, fishing by the river all day long, sometimes borrowing a boat to go into the water, we all persuade him not to send him to death, but the Taoist chief does not listen, but after getting into the water, he does not use oars to row, no wind is automatic, no matter how big the waves, can not overturn the boat, but magical, like an old fairy, if possible, you let him carry you across the river." ”

Fang Yun was a little curious: "What kind of fish are you fishing, you haven't caught it yet?" ”

"He said that it was a big carp with a red tail, and it should be two meters long now, and no one in our village believed it, but he said, but if you can't catch a fish, it's not bad to catch a person, you say that this old fairy is strange, and he wants to catch people from the river."

"Old immortals? How old are you? Fang Yun was a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that Lao Tzu had provoked someone.

"It's not that old, thirty or forty, or forty or fifty, I can't figure it out anyway." The big man smirked.

"Then what are you called old immortals?" Fang Yun couldn't help but want to curse.

"It's not, we don't know what it's called, think about it, it's still the most reliable to call the old fairy."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦..”

This group of stinky Taoist priests who calculate the sky and the earth all day long, and can also beg for wind and rain, always calculates people, Fang Yun doesn't want to deal with it at all, including that Li Daochun, don't look at this stupid appearance, there must be a lot of ideas in his heart, His Royal Highness the Prince is a little uneasy, after all, it is difficult for him to cross the river, but when people step on a small boat, they can resist the wind and waves without wind, so they almost want to see themselves by name, are they afraid of him if they don't go?

"Delma, can't be cowardly!"

"Take me to find that old immortal and see where he is the Wild Daoist!" Fang Yun pulled the horse and walked with him to the fishing village.

Dahan thought about helping him lead the horse, a few fish, and earned a tael of silver, which made this simple-hearted man very uneasy, but he had everything in his hands, and Fang Yun didn't use him to help.

The two chatted while walking, Fang Yun got to know something, this Taoist priest had been here for nearly six or seven days, and it was estimated that when he first came out of Bianjing, this person was waiting for him here.

But what does this Taoist priest mean by the red-tailed carp in his mouth, is it really Xiaohong?

Fang Yun was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what cause and effect there was between the two, anyway, he was so awesome, there wasn't much distance between the two, if he really wanted to kill himself, he probably wouldn't be able to run.

It's better to go and see each other, and let go of the thoughts in your heart and stop worrying about it.

"The small bamboo shed by the river was made by the old fairy himself, and I don't know where he got the bamboo." Dahan scratched his head, and wanted to take him over, Fang Yun waved his hand.

He saw a lazy Taoist priest sitting on a bamboo chair by the river, leaning back, holding a fishing rod made of bamboo in one hand, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"The fish is hooked." The Taoist priest turned his back to him, there was a sound of laughter, the bamboo pole sank down violently, he clenched his hands and slowly pulled it up, but it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't pull it at all.

Fang Yun clenched his fists suddenly, and at this moment, he just wanted to scold: "your mother!" ”
