After General Song, the commander of Pengcheng County, heard that Su You was a member of the third rank of the imperial court, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted after trotting in front of Su You, but said in his mouth, "The lower official Song Hao has seen Su Yushi, and the lower official welcomes him here and hopes that the imperial history will forgive me."

"This official was ordered to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and I have disturbed you, I don't know why General Song is here?" Su You first hugged his fists in the direction of the eastern capital to show respect, and then asked knowingly.

"Back to the imperial history of the Soviet Union, the lower officials are here to catch the traitor." Song Hao didn't know the purpose of Su You's trip, so he had to reply stubbornly.

Su You continued to ask with some puzzlement, "Traitor? Where did the traitors come from in this peaceful and prosperous world? ”

Song Hao nodded, pointed to the people kneeling on the ground and said, "They illegally attacked the Jixian County Government at noon yesterday, and the lower officials came to arrest them on the orders of Zhang Taishou. ”

"Zhang Taishou? Can he ask for the approval of the Ministry of War? Su You asked reluctantly.

Song Hao didn't know how to answer for a while, the imperial court's regulations on the management of local armies were just issued last year, and they clearly stipulated that the transfer of more than 100 local people must be filed with the military department, and the Jixian county government had an accident yesterday, and Song Hao led nearly 1,000 people out today to quell the chaos, of course, it is impossible to file it in the military department.

Su You raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "That's nothing?" Who gave him Zhang Xin's right to transfer troops privately? ”

"Zhang Taishou may have sent someone to Beijing for the record, but because the situation here is urgent, he will send troops to quell the chaos first, please bear with Su Yushi." Song Hao heard the hostility from Su You's accusation of Zhang Xin by name, but now that he and Zhang Xin were obviously grasshoppers on the same rope, he naturally defended Zhang Xin when he opened his mouth, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart.

"Perhaps? You're leading troops to capture them now just by a 'maybe', right? Lao Lu, you go over and ask those laborers, what's going on. Su You complained twice, and then turned to Lu Zhongsu and said.

Lu Zhongsu immediately rushed away, but Song Hao defended, "It was Zhang Taishou who received an urgent letter from Mu County's order, saying that a person named Zhai Rang had stormed the yamen."

"Zhai Rang? Catch him now? Su You is obviously asking nonsense, can he not know where Zhai Rang is?

Song Hao shook his head and responded with a depressed face, "No, although we have been searching for him since yesterday evening, but this guy is extremely cunning, and finally Taishou finally found out that this person is now working on this dock, so we have this operation." ”

"The manhunt started last night?" Su You asked Song Hao with some concern, and then smiled slyly, "You guys arrived at the Jixian dock last night, right?" And also burned more than two dozen boats on the pier? ”

Song Hao nodded, and then found that Su You's face suddenly became ugly.

"Do you know who the owners of which ships are? It's the official! Su You roared angrily, spitting Xingzi on Song Hao's face, but the latter was stunned when he got this answer, is this the legendary god transfer?

Song Hao was stunned on the ground, and he didn't know how to pick up Su You's words for a while, but there were 10,000 alpacas galloping in his heart.

Song Hao now even has the heart to kill Su You, but in front of everyone's eyes, how can he dare to have the slightest color of resistance except for accepting Su You's spit Xingzi with resentment?

Lu Zhongsu went and returned, and reported loudly to Su You, "Back to the imperial history, my subordinates have made it clear, these laborers have not attacked the yamen, and they have not left this place in the past three days."

"That's enough." Su You interrupted Lu Zhongsu and asked Song Hao again, "General Song, I don't know what you plan to do with these innocent laborers?" ”

Innocent laborers?

Song Hao listened to Su You's words, and couldn't help but scold Su You, you have already characterized them as innocent, what else do I have to say?

"It's all up to Su Yushi's arrangement." After Song Hao said this, he felt indescribably desolate in his heart, not only did he not get any benefits from coming out this time, but he may also have a big deal because of it, is this really a bad year?

Su You nodded, and then said lightly, "The thief leader is missing, and it is necessary to track it down." However, today because of the arrest of a thief and implicating these many people, I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable, right? What's more, arresting so many people is easy to cause a big mess, if the imperial court is alarmed, how can Zhang Yuanjun explain the transfer of troops to His Majesty, I think it is better to let them go. ”

Song Hao listened to Su You's words, and it seemed that he didn't plan to pursue the matter of sending troops without permission, so he quickly nodded, and then said to the two guards beside him, "Go and explain to them and let these people go." ”

Su You watched the officers and soldiers release them, and then said with some interest, "Come on, it's a troublesome day, General Song, you can go back too, I'll go into the city later, and I may go back to visit Zhang Yuanjun tomorrow, and I hope the general will tell him." ”

Song Hao was stunned, originally he thought that Su You would let him lead the way and go directly to the county government to find Zhang Xin, otherwise he really couldn't face Zhang Xin.

However, listening to him say this, it seems that he wants to go to the city to stay tomorrow before he wants to meet Zhang Xin, so Zhang Xin and him still have half a day's buffer time.

Song Hao hugged his fist at Su You, and then led his troops out of the dock.

After half a cup of tea, the wharf resumed its previous hustle and bustle, and the laborers who knelt on the ground just now did not know that their lives were saved by a Lei Feng named Su You

Su You walked happily towards the city, Lu Zhongsu listened to his son Lu Sheng learn a few words of the conversation between Su You and Song Hao, and also knew that there was hope for recovering his ship, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Even Zhai Rang, who was painted with a fancy face, was relieved to learn that those laborers were not imprisoned because of him, and he also had a clear understanding of Su You's energy.

After arriving at the inn, Zhai Rang took off the makeup painted on his face with charcoal, and after taking a shower and changing his clothes, he seemed to be a different person, or perhaps, this decadent middle-aged uncle image is more in line with his life pursuit.

It's just that life is not as good as it should be, and if you want to drink the wine you like, wear the clothes you like, and be with the person you like, it's all just luxury.

Su You looked at Zhai Rang in front of him and found that he was somewhat similar to himself in terms of figure and appearance, but Zhai Rang's face was more colorful, just like when Su You first arrived in Dasui.

Zhai Rang is much older than Su You, and he is over forty years old at this time.

"Thank you Su Yushi for your rescue, if Zhai Rang still has another day, he will definitely repay him with a spring." Zhai Rang sat at the bottom of Su You, and the rest of his life after the catastrophe did not make him decadent, but he had more yearning for life in his heart.

Su You shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a gesture, it's just that Brother Zhai can't go back now because he has a home, I don't know what his plans are in the future?" ”

In fact, Su You had an impulse to accept him after rescuing Zhai Rang, but when he thought that without Zhai Rang, there would be no Wagang, and without Wagang he would deviate from history, he suddenly became scared again, he would rather bottle new wine than take a new road with old shoes.

But didn't he kidnap Wang Bodang to his side?

"If Brother Zhai doesn't give up, how about going with me to the East China Sea? I want to build a fleet of my own. Su You was obviously reluctant in his heart, but his words still showed the intention of soliciting, and he didn't know why.

Providence?

Zhai Rang obviously didn't expect Su You to recruit himself, the thief leader who attacked the yamen, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but nodded.

Su You looked at Zhai Rang as if he was hesitant, and couldn't help asking, "But Brother Zhai still has to be incognito, can you let it go?" ”

Zhai Rang nodded and said firmly, "In the future, I will be called Xuxingzhi, how about it?" ”

"Vanity? The false is not true; Walk, run away. That's a good name, haha. Su You thought about it for a while, and finally laughed, and then picked up the teacup and said to Zhai Rang, "Mr. Xu, I'll call you that in the future." ”

"Mr. Su is polite." Zhai rang smiled in response.

When Su You and Zhai Rang were happily exchanging hearts, a farce was being staged in the county government of Pengcheng County, and when Zhang Xin learned that Song Hao had burned more than 20 ships of Su You in one go last night, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

There are only two thoughts in his heart now, one is, why don't you burn Su You to death! Second, why did Su You come?

When Zhang Xin was worried, he heard the doorman come in and report, "Childe is here." ”

Zhang Xin nodded, and then instructed Song Hao, "It's okay, it's just more than twenty boats, since this is what the old man told you to do, it will naturally be counted on the old man's head." ”

"Then the lower official will leave first, and the envoy will come as soon as he is called." Song Hao suddenly laughed, the so-called good words are warm in three winters, which is exactly what it means.

Zhang Xin seemed to want this sentence, and then waved him back.

When Song Hao pulled up the curtain and was about to leave, Zhang Xin's son also happened to raise the curtain to come in, and after the two nodded and greeted, they went their separate ways.

Zhang Xin looked at his son Zhang Mo, who he hadn't seen for a year, the haze in his heart temporarily receded, and he asked with a forced smile, "Mo'er, why did you come here at the end of the year?" ”

"Father, something happened." Zhang Mo looked anxious, and after saying this, he took out a letter from his arms.

"Oh?" Zhang Xin immediately opened the letter, the letter was signed by Zhang Jin, the content of the letter was Su You's trip to the southeast a year ago, after reading the letter, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Su You has arrived." ”

"Arrived?" Zhang Mo asked in disbelief, but it only took him more than two days to reach Pengcheng from the eastern capital in a hurry.

"But he hasn't been in contact with me so far, does your uncle have any other message?" Zhang Xin smiled bitterly.

Zhang Mo nodded, "Uncle said that Su You is the best at grasping the weakness of his opponent to win the initiative, and his uncle asked his father to temporarily stop the trading in Jiangnan. ”

"This saves me, in fact, my father has already gone to the headquarters of the shipping company in Yangzhou, and our business will all stop from today. Anything else? Zhang Xin looked at his son and asked.

"Also, uncle said, strike first!"
