Chapter 441: What is the hidden killing machine?

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen.

Although Wang Fulin is not Li Bai, and it is not March at this time, he sent people from the ferry port near the Yangtze River in the south of Yangzhou City, instead of sending people to Yangzhou from the Yellow Crane Tower, but he watched the boat go against the west in the dripping rain, but these two poems unconsciously surfaced in his mind. Compared with Li Bai, who was lonely back then, there was an overly reliable arm by his side. At this moment, the burden containing a hundred taels of gold ingots was carried in Lu Guangwu's hand without care, as if it was three taels of cotton, and he was even interested in joking with him.

"Don't look at it, the boat is gone, there is time to delay the sad spring and autumn here, it is better to hurry up and finish the work and go back to marry a daughter-in-law!"

"Senior Brother Lu, when I saw you for the first time, I was in awe, but now that you are more and more like an ordinary person, does this count as fading your true colors?"

"It turned out that Xiaobei was gone, and you dared to call out this senior brother." Lu Guangwu laughed and said indifferently, "Whether it is a hero or a warrior, just like the old farmers in the fields, the peddlers and pawns, all of them are just ordinary people, and the awe of the world is only an external thing in the final analysis." I was only fortunate to be born in a famous family, and if I were in an ordinary farmhouse, I might be just as panicked by natural disasters at this moment, struggling to survive for food and clothing. Mr. He once said that if the background is different, the status is different, and the responsibility is different, but too many people in the world are not aware of this. ”

Wang Fulin had long felt that He Xinyin's life was in the wrong era, and Lu Guangwu, a disciple of He Sect, was shocked at this moment, of course he would not feel strange at all.

Ye Mingyue and Sister Xiaobei were on the boat to Wuhu from the west, while he and Lu Guangwu were on the ferry that crossed the Yangtze River to Dantu County, the seat of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Because the two of them also have horses, on the boat with the largest load capacity among all the ferries in the ferry, there are only Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu in addition to the father and son. At the moment, they were chatting. The captain listened to it all. While the old man called his son to help him take the rudder, he asked curiously: "The two officials seem to be either rich or noble, but they speak so truthfully, it's really rare." I heard that there was a big flood in Huaiyang, and the two of you were planning to take refuge in Dantu? ”

"Yes and no." Wang Fulin thought that Dantu was on the other side of the Yangtze River, so he asked intentionally. "I heard that Yingtian Governor Zhang Buyuan is now in Dantu, is he also here to prevent water?"

"What are the plans of the officials of the imperial court, how can I know as a father-in-law." The old man immediately shook his head, thought about it and said, "I heard that there are signs of mobilization of the officers and soldiers of the internal guard office of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and it is said that it is strictly prevented from bandits from wreaking havoc in the year of the catastrophe. ”

The officers and soldiers of the guard post are moving?

thought that Zhang Jiayin hurried to Zhenjiang Mansion because of the Huaiyang flood, but when he heard the transfer of the guard, Wang Fulin immediately exchanged a look with Lu Guangwu. The latter was a soldier who had led it. The former had heard how strict the transfer of troops had been in recent years, so they were deeply shocked by the news. Even if most of the governors in these years have the title of supervising military affairs, or assisting in military affairs, but unless there is a rebellion or even a major event such as a rebellion, who would dare to transfer troops easily? What's more, Governor Yingtian is not like the governor of Zhejiang, and there is still a Fubiao who was streamlined in the Zhejiang army back then, and the transfer is directly the soldiers of the guard.

Wang Fulin inquired about the old man for a while, and found that he really couldn't ask anything. He decided to go to Dantu first. Sure enough, when I got off the boat and entered the city. He found that the examination was much more severe than before. However, a lot of temporary wooden huts were erected at the city gate, apparently for the shelter of the fleeing victims. However, after only three or four days of flooding in the Huaiyang area, it seems that there are less than 20 people in the total number of victims here. It seems sparse and unsettled.

And compared to this, those soldiers who were heavily armed to guard the city gate seemed to be too big!

"Compared to the number of victims, don't you think these shacks are too much and too neat?"

Hearing Lu Guangwu's words, Wang Fulin couldn't help but glance at the scattered victims again, nodded and said, "Come from Huaiyang." You must cross the Yangtze River, the ferry boats will never carry passengers for free, and those who can come here will not even have the net worth to enter the city and stay in the inn, but will have to live in this kind of place. And we went out of Yangzhou City all the way south and found that the more we went to the Yangtze River, the lower the water potential, such as Yizhen County, etc., which was a better choice than Dantu, and they had no reason to have to find a way to cross the river to this side. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said softly: "On the contrary, this battle is more like covering up something, for example, the matter of mobilizing the officers and soldiers of the guard. ”

"Well, let's talk about it when we go into town!"

Dantu is the governor of Zhenjiang Prefecture, which naturally has two sets of teams: the government and the county government. Wang Fulin only casually inquired about it, and learned that Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, was staying in the mansion, so he had to rush over immediately. When he saw the entrance of the government from a distance, he found that there were dozens of soldiers standing in the rain, and at a glance they were tall, and it was hard to believe that they were those Tuntian soldiers from the local guard station, which was known as a soft egg. That vaguely familiar spirit, he remembered should have found it in some other people.

It is Qi Liang, who is retired in She County, and those old soldiers of the Qi family! Could it be......

Wang Fulin was just guessing, and Lu Guangwu was completely convinced. He had a great friendship with Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, but Xu Wei did such a ridiculous thing as killing his wife in a frustrated future, although he would not cut off his robe, but he really couldn't see his madness of sprinkling all his anger on women's heads, and only sent someone to send something to visit after Xu Wei was imprisoned, and he never came forward to see him again. As for Hu Zongxian's other staff generals, he didn't have too deep contacts, except for He Xinyin, the teacher. But there is one person he has seen many times, and that is Qi Jiguang, who is famous in the southeast.

How could the people of the Qi family army appear here? Zhang Jiayin is just the governor of Yingtian, and it is impossible for his hand to reach Jizhen. Qi Jiguang himself could not have the courage to send troops to Nanzhili. If this is the case, there must be people in the DPRK and China who support this. And people with such strength, including the Chen family and the Li family, who are about to become the empress dowager of the two palaces, including the little emperor, but they should not be the three nominal supreme powers. Therefore, it is most likely that the two palaces and the Son of Heaven will be able to pull out such a small team of Qi Jiguang, and they will be able to move from north to south unimpeded, and there will only be two people who will come to Zhenjiang within a few days after the high arch strikes.

Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.

Before Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu approached the mansion, there were already soldiers who stepped forward to stop them, and between their gestures, the fierce aura of the battle-hardened battle array was undoubtedly revealed. Wang Fulin didn't hesitate any longer in his heart, immediately jumped off the horse, arched his hand and said: "Wang Fulin, a member of Songming Mountain in She County, Xiahuizhou, has the name of his uncle, the former governor of Fujian, and the current governor of Huguang, Wang Buyuan, but it is not easy to take it out in the rain. Behind me is the son of Xinchang Lu who relieved the siege of Tongxiang at the beginning, can this military master allow me to talk to the gatehouse? ”

Even if Qi Jiguang was ordered to send troops this time, it should not be the northern soldiers who were trained after arriving in Jizhen, but the southeastern soldiers who followed Jizhen before, so that there would not be too much problem with the accent, and there was another advantage - that is, he must know that he had fought the Japanese in Fujian, he must know that he must know that Wang Daokun, the governor of Fujian who has a good relationship with Qi Jiguang, and he must know Lu Guangwu who solved the siege of Tongxiang!

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Wang Fulin introduce himself, and said these words humbly and politely, the soldier who had just been full of businesslike appearance immediately showed a smile: "It turned out to be Lu Gongzi and Wang Xiaoguan, please come with me." ”

Although they were strictly ordered by Qi Jiguang before leaving, everything was listened to Zhang Jiayin after arriving at Zhenjiang Mansion, and they were not allowed to disclose their identities, but in front of the relevant people, everything was naturally accommodating. Seeing that neither of them asked where they came from, Wang Fulin happily took out his name post, claiming that he had been ordered to come from Yangzhou, and asked to see Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, and he immediately agreed to report on his behalf. After a few moments, he entered the porter with a smile on his face.

"Governor Zhang is in the third hall of the mansion, please come over and speak."

The last time he saw Zhang Jiayin, Wang Fulin still remembered that this Governor Yingtian was in the prime of life, and he was quite courageous, but now that they met again after a few months, he found that Zhang Jiayin's eyes were deeply sunken, and he had obviously not slept for at least a few days, and his face was very bad. When he saw him, Zhang Jiayin barely squeezed out a more kind smile, but he seemed a little sluggish to Lu Guangwu.

"Wang Xian's nephew said that he just came from Yangzhou? The canal is overflowing, Huaiyang is almost a Zeguo, I have heard of it, you are here to say it is for Yangzhou, you might as well say it bluntly. ”

Wang Fulin was full of doubts at the moment, but of course he would not forget Master Cheng's entrustment, and he would talk about buying grain at the moment. And Lu Guangwu didn't care about Zhang Jiayin's attitude, and directly took off the burden of one hundred taels of gold from his back and put it on the ground. At this time, Wang Fulin said: "The Huaiyang flood, the merchants in the city will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, so I dare not go to the market to collect it, and I am even more afraid that it will affect the price of grain in Zhenjiang Prefecture." Therefore, when I heard that Governor Zhang had arrived in Zhenjiang Mansion, I could only come to ask for help with a cheeky face. ”

Hearing that Wang Fulin came to buy grain, Zhang Jiayin hesitated, but the gloom on his face dissipated a little. Although Huaiyang did not belong to the jurisdiction of the governor of Yingtian, but was assigned to the governor of Fengyang, but the place across the river suffered such a catastrophe, if he restricted the export of grain, he would definitely be poked in the backbone by countless people in the officialdom and the people. What's more, a group of salt merchants have such an awareness, raising funds for the government to buy grain, how can he sit idly by? However, the most difficult thing now is the one that is on the line......

"Governor Zhang, the people who went to Danyang have returned, and they have already captured the demon Shao Fang alive!"

Hearing the report outside, Wang Fulin only felt his heart skip a beat, and then quickly exchanged a look with Lu Guangwu. At that moment, he saw this Xinchang Lu Gongzi raise his eyebrows, and his eyes showed deep disgust.
