"The child meets the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the aunt!"

In the spacious county hall of the county government, Shen Yun met the current elder-level figures of the Shen family, Shen Fu, Shen Chong, and Shen Silan.

Shen Fu and Shen Chong are already sixty years old this year, and their bodies are quite healthy, but because of the loss of their teeth, their speech is a little unclear, although they are very happy to see Shen Yun, but they just sit there smiling and raising their hands, and it is Shen Silan who is sitting on the edge who speaks on their behalf.

Shen Yun originally thought that this aunt should be a young woman like Shen Yunru, but she was taken aback when she saw it. Shen Silan is thirty-six this year, her figure is long and thin, not as plump as Shen Yun at all, her cheeks are sunken, and her eyes are bright and big, but the dark circles under her eyes are very thick, and the bags under her eyes are also very obvious. Although the clothes are expensive, and the rouge gouache used is also superb, it is difficult to hide her tired state--- it can be seen from the bun of Shuangyun's hanging sideburns that she has not yet married, and she is still an older leftover girl in the boudoir!

"Yuan Rang doesn't need to be polite, get up!" Shen Silan stepped forward, helped up Shen Yun, who was bent down to salute, looked at him with already somewhat moist eyes, and sighed: "Second brother is unfortunate, you have also suffered along the way!" ”

Everything about Shen Yun in Beijing had already been reported back to Bohai County, and Shen Silan also knew about it. Thinking of her hard-working brothers, Shen Silan was sad and choked up for a while. A white flower was inserted in her bun, and a plain white filial piety dress with thundercloud patterns on her body was wrapped around her thin body, supporting her like a lily in the wind and rain.

Shen Yun also choked up and said, "Auntie, the child is fine!" The child is not filial, the father is unfortunate but cannot avenge the revenge, and the enemy is not able to sacrifice the father's spirit in the sky, the child is really angry! ”

Shen Silan hurriedly made a silent gesture to Shen Yun, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about these things when I go home...... I think the coffin of the second brother will be transported back to the house today, and there will be a new grave on the family's grave mountain now...... Alas! ”

In the hall of the county office, in addition to the Shen family, there was also Bai Hong's county magistrate and two other officials. They are Pan Shi, the county governor of Suchuan County, and Tang Ying, the county magistrate.

In the imperial bureaucracy, the idea of separation of powers is very obvious. The county magistrate is in charge of civil affairs, the county magistrate is in charge of justice, and the county lieutenant is in charge of law and order. Among the three, the county order is the mainstay, but they check and balance each other. There is no such thing as a county magistrate serving as a public security chief or court president in the past.

Among the "Big Three" in Suchuan County, Bai Hong is the youngest one, forty years old, Pan Shi and Tang Ying are both over fifty, if there is no accident, their careers have reached the top and can no longer be promoted. Relatively speaking, Bai Hong is more sleek, after all, it is a county order that needs to coordinate various departments. And Pan Shi, who was in charge of the security army, was quite tough. Tang Ying was expressionless, which was very consistent with his identity.

Pan Shi saw that they had finished talking about the old relationship, so he stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, I want to take Shizi to make a record, after all, he killed the big thief Weasel with his own hands!" ”

This county lieutenant, who has the tough style of a soldier, is also erect when he speaks.

"Well, of course." Shen Silan nodded, and turned to Shen Yun: "Yuan Rang, you go with Master Pan first, and leave the rest to your aunt!" Also, tonight, I will go back to Bohai Mansion with your two uncles first, and you will come back as soon as you finish dealing with the affairs here...... Your mother misses you so much! ”

Shen Yun looked at her appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and nodded lightly: "Yes, auntie." I asked Uncle Wu to go back with you, he knows a lot about the child's thoughts, and he will tell his aunt! ”

"Hmm!" Shen Silan nodded, did not procrastinate, walked directly to Shen Fu and Shen Chong, bowed his head and said something, and then left in a hurry with the two old men.

Shen Wu had told Shen Yun that Shen Silan controlled the largest fur business of the Bohai Hou family, and was proficient in Roman, so he was not in Bohai Province all the year round, but was in charge of doing business with Roman caravans in the port of Busan in the southeast. So this woman should have a decisive and ruthless style. She should be regarded as one of the strong women of this era!

Shen Yun had already instructed Shen Wu to tell Shen Silan some of his thoughts, and hoped that she could provide him with enough help. Judging from the situation of today's meeting, his aunt must be on this side, so that he may be more confident when he faces Xiao Qin, the daughter of --- Lianggong, the mother of the Shen family!

…………………… Dividing line ........................

The county government is very large, with three courtyards in front and back, and six houses on the left and right, which are the living and office places of the county lieutenant and the county prince.

Shen Yun was taken to the county governor's office alone, a subordinate served good tea, the main book spread out the pen and ink, and Pan Shi asked a few questions concisely and simply, most of which were about how to meet pirates at sea and how to deal with big pirates on the outlying islands. Shen Yundu answered one by one, and took a sip of tea from time to time, the taste of making a record is very different from when he was in Luoyang!

After making the relevant inquiries, Pan Shi asked the master book to go out for archiving, but he sat next to Shen Yun and suddenly said, "Shizi, will you go back to the house tomorrow?" ”

Shen Yun was stunned, I don't know why he asked, this Pan Shi has a resolute facial line, his body is also biased towards strong, and the previous conversations are also more formal and concise, how could he suddenly ask about his private affairs?

"If Master Pan still needs Yun to assist in the investigation, Yun should also cooperate!" Shen Yun couldn't tell why he asked, so he chose a more euphemistic statement.

Pan Shi actually smiled, and the lines of his resolute face softened: "From Bohai Mansion to Suchuan County, if there is anything, I will send someone to find Shizi directly...... But I have a sentence I want to ask the son, this is the son of the queen of the Bohai Sea, but it is inevitable?! ”

That's a pretty damning question. Shen Yun frowned at that time, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Pan, the position of Marquis seems to be a small family matter of our Shen family, right?" ”

Pan Shi nodded: "That's true, but the Marquis of Bohai is the marquis of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor, and he also has the meaning of guarding the Bohai Sea for generations, although he has no real power, it is enough to affect the well-being of millions of living beings in the Bohai Sea!" Shizi, compared with the millions of living beings in the Bohai Sea, this family's matter is a trivial matter? Besides, His Royal Highness Duke Hu is very concerned about the affairs of the prince! ”

His Royal Highness Duke Hu? Shen Yun's heart jumped and asked, "Master Pan?" ”

Pan Shi arched his hand and smiled: "I can't hide it, His Royal Highness Duke Hu has a letter for him to pass on to the prince!" As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun hurriedly took a look, only to see that this was a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness Hu Gong, the date on the envelope was June 27, that is, a month ago, it seemed to be the day after Shen Yun and Hu Gong separated in Mengjin, at that time Shen Yun was still floating on the Yellow River, and Hu Gong should not have arrived in Yuyang, how could he write this letter?

Shen Yun glanced up at Pan Shi suspiciously, and Pan Shi smiled: "The prince will know after reading it." ”

Shen Yun read it at a glance, and a warm current suddenly surged in his heart. In the letter was the instructions of His Royal Highness Duke Hu, who told Shen Yun that Pan Shi had been his old department, and he had only been transferred to Suchuan three years ago as a county lieutenant, and that he was a reliable person, and if there was any danger or difficulty in dealing with himself in Bohai Mansion, he could mobilize Pan Shi's army with the jade plate he gave him!

"Pan Shiyuan is a tiger general in the army, and his subordinates must also be brave soldiers, you can't look at them as a third-class army! If you are not prepared, you can quickly let Gong San inform me that I have ordered the soldiers of the first battalion of the Flying Cavalry Army to be stationed in Pyongyang in the name of intensive training. ”

After reading the letter, Pan Shi said solemnly to Shen Yun, who was in deep thought: "Shizi, Duke Hu is extremely worried about the safety of Shizi, so he has another letter to inform him. This letter also arrived in Suchuan the day before yesterday, although the soldiers of my company did not dare to boast of the flying cavalry, but compared to the second class regiment in Bohai Mansion, it was not much better, but if there is something, please ask the prince to give orders! ”

Seeing Pan Shi so solemn, Shen Yun calmed down more and more.

Obediently, Hu Gong and this Pan Shi both attach importance to themselves as if they are facing a great enemy, why is this? Could it be that his stepmother Xiao Qin has such a big power that she can put herself to death? If it is on the sea, it is understandable that the place where the imperial court cannot be educated, but now that he has arrived in Bohai County, is his safety not guaranteed?

Thinking of this, Shen Yun said: "Yun Yu is blunt, I hope that Master Pan will not hesitate to give advice!" ”

"Shizi, please ask, I know everything below!"

"She, in Bohai County, may cover the sky with one hand? Is it really necessary for me to be so cautious when I go home this time? ”

Pan Shi frowned, of course he knew who "she" was referring to.

"As said below, the Marquis of Bohai is the Marquis of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor, who has guarded Bohai for generations, and although he has no real power, his influence is all over the county. What's more, there are still people from Lianggong walking in the county now. Since the Marquis of Bohai married the daughter of Liang Gong, he handed over to her the business of Ulsan, Gangneung, Andong, and Pohang, and these four businesses were mainly for the Wa Kingdom...... I wonder if the son of the world can understand this? ”

When it came to the Japanese, Shen Yun suddenly became enlightened. He said, "What does Master Pan mean that my mistress is involved with the Japanese Kou? ”

A trace of anger flashed on Pan Shi's face, but he seemed to be holding back, and snorted: "It's not just involved, you must know that fifteen years ago, the Japanese didn't dare to board Bohai County, but now they dare to attack Qingchuan County!" The strength of this widow is like a day, and one day it will be a big trouble for us and other henchmen, but Bohai Taishou has repeatedly concealed it and refused to report it to the imperial court, if it weren't for the fact that this Qingchuan County Commander saw that the situation was critical, he lit up a beacon fire, causing the whole county to know, I am afraid that Lord Taishou will still not send troops to suppress the bandits! ”

Shen Yun was furious: ", how can national events be child's play?!" Master Pan, can't you report to His Royal Highness Duke Hu, and directly ask His Highness to send a flying cavalry army to land in the Japanese Kingdom and eliminate all the Japanese slaves! ”

Pan Shi sighed: "The prince doesn't know that the Wa Kingdom is extremely respectful to my Han on the surface. These are also the ones who have been removed by the king of the Wako, and besides, many of them are made up of savages from the Far North, and we just name them after them. Although we can all be sure that there must be the support of the Japanese state when the Japanese are rampant, it is a pity that the crusade is nameless, and it is not appropriate to use the sword lightly. Moreover, the Flying Cavalry Regiment is a cavalry system, and there are mostly mountains in the north of Bohai County, and the Japanese are also active in this area, and His Royal Highness Hu Gong will have no good plan for a while! ”

"Isn't there my Yulin Army in the four counties of Long Island, Shikoku, Pingtung, and Shishui? Kill the past! Shen Yun said.

Pan Shi smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness Ying Gong will not agree!" ”

"Eng...... Alas! Shen Yun suddenly understood.

His Royal Highness Ying Gong is in control of the Imperial Sailor Jiaolong Legion, without the help of the Sailor Division, although the Tsushima Strait is narrow, the Flying Cavalry is not really good at flying after all! The land of the four counties should also be under the jurisdiction of the British army, how could it be possible to fight Japan for no reason?!

"What is the size of the Woko now?" Shen Yun asked.

Pan Shi said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, judging from the situation gathered in various places, the Japanese are gradually becoming powerful, and there are about 2,000 to 6,000 soldiers who can fight, and they have been wandering in the north of Bohai County all the year round, if our army encircles and suppresses him, he will flee from the waterway to the country or the far north, and the army retreats, and he makes a comeback, which is really disturbing!" ”

"What's there to worry about? Do they dare to invade the city? Shen Yun was still puzzled, not knowing why Pan Shi and Hu Gong were like enemies to Xiao Qin.

Pan Shi looked at Shen Yun and said, "Shizi, do you know where the Marquis of Bohai are buried?" ”

Shen Yun shook his head blankly, but a bad premonition had already risen in his heart.

"Wonsan! It's only two hundred miles away from Qingchuan County!! ”

Shen Yun finally knew what His Royal Highness Duke Hu and Pan Shi were worried about.

Wonsan, located in the northeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, is surrounded by the three counties of Hamhung, Gaoyuan, and Cheongcheon, as well as many ports such as Yongse Port, Heongnam Port, and Sinpo Port. The most important thing is that it is all mountainous, and there are no straight roads yet, so the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. It only takes seven days to travel from Bohae Province to Cheongcheon County in the south of Wonsan, but it takes one month to travel from Cheongcheon County to Hamheung, Plateau and other counties in the north of Wonsan!

That's the important difference between having a straight and not having a straight!

He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Bohai and the son of the world, can he not go to Yuanshan when his father is buried? No! Since he wants to go to Yuanshan, he must pass through Qingchuan, and when he passes through Qingchuan, he must face the Japanese invaders, if there is any accident and Bohai Mansion does not rescue in time...... Gee......

This is a blatant and blatant murder!

Shen Yun's face changed at that time.
