Qiu Yizhi saw that the river was gradually calming, and then he remembered that although the people were rescued and the canopy boat had sunk, there were really a lot of things to do after that.

So he hurriedly sent someone to call Liu Qing, the envoy of Jiangnan Province, to take over all the defense of Yanziji Wharf, and asked him to continue to tighten the defense of Jinling Chengguan, and he could not take it lightly. He also took out his wallet and went down to a restaurant near the river, and he often lived in it to deal with the aftermath.

In order to facilitate the salvage of the sunken canopy boat, Qiu Yizhi asked Liu Qing to mobilize Jiangnan sailors to temporarily block the Yanziji Wharf, and invited a few old river workers and old fishermen who were good at salvage by the riverside to waste all their efforts to salvage the wreck five days later.

When Qiu Yizhi first got on the ship, he couldn't see the fame because of the dim light in the canopy. Now it suddenly dawned on me, and I saw twenty-seven black lacquer jars in the boat, and I didn't know what it did. When I opened it, I saw that it was full of gold, and each jar contained about 1,200 taels of gold, and 27 jars were 38,000 taels of gold—2,000 pounds of heavy stuff piled up in the cabin, no wonder the ship sank so simply.

Qiu Yizhi looked at this pile of gold that was so pure that it was a little red, thinking that the pile of gold that Tianzun Sect Leader Wen Honghui carried with him could be exchanged for at least 300,000 taels of silver, which was almost equivalent to one-tenth of the annual income of the Great Han. There are people in the rivers and lakes who see money, and if he takes this money out to win people's hearts, he may cause many troubles.

In addition to the gold and silver treasures, Qiu Yizhi's sword-black sword of the Western Regions was also in the shipwreck. If it was an ordinary sword, it would have rusted and rotted after soaking in the river for these days, but this treasure knife seemed to be no different, still sharpened like clay and extremely sharp. Qiu Yizhi's belongings were lost and recovered, and naturally he had another feeling.

Immediately after the boat, two bodies were dragged out of the bottom of the river by several fishermen, one of whom was a man in his thirties and forties, and the other was an old woman dressed in black. These two people are dressed exactly like Wen Honghui and the "aunt", but the two of them have been soaked in the water for a long time, and their bodies are blue and swollen, and they are no longer recognizable.

However, the true identities of these two people have a great relationship, and Qiu Yizhi had to ask Wen Lingjiao to identify them.

When Wen Lingjiao saw the man's corpse, she immediately cried bitterly, and couldn't stop shouting: "Brother! Brother! "I almost fainted from crying.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi's heart suddenly let go of a hanging heart in her chest, but seeing Wen Lingjiao crying sadly, she remembered that she now had no relatives in the world, and she had become a lonely person, and she didn't feel a little sad in her heart.

Qiu Yizhi saw that Wen Lingjiao was more and more sad the more she cried, and she almost choked up and couldn't breathe in the end, thinking that she would inevitably hurt her body by crying like this, so she beckoned He'er and asked her to pick up Wen Lingjiao and go to rest first.

He saw Yu Chi Jiming looking at the corpse of the old woman in black stupidly, staring intently and thoughtfully, so he reluctantly settled down and said to Yu Chi Jiming: "Ji Ming, you were defeated by this old woman, but she didn't expect her to drown, I'm afraid you will have no chance of revenge in the future!" ”

Yu Chi Jiming shook his head and said, "Her martial arts are too high, I'm afraid that until she dies of old age, I won't be able to take revenge......"

Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Isn't Ji Ming always confident in his kung fu?" How can you say such depressing words today? ”

Yu Chi Jiming sighed rarely: "Little uncle doesn't know, this person is the old-timer of my Wei Chi family!" ”

Qiu Yizhi was speechless when he heard this, and then heard Yu Chi Jiming say quietly: "I heard my father talk about this matter. said that there was an old grandmother in my Wei Chi family, and she fell in love with a showman when she was young. This show talent has grown up, and he has been admitted to the Jinshi and become an official. At that time, several ancestors of the Wei Chi family strictly adhered to the family motto of 'no fornication with the government', so they asked them to break off their relationship. At this time, the old grandmother already had the flesh and blood of this Xiucai, and Xiucai refused to resign. The two sides were fierce, and the grandmother was ruthless for a while, killing and injuring many uncles, brothers, children and nephews of the same clan, and the child in her belly also fell off in the process of fighting. Later, I heard that Na Xiucai had a prosperous official all the way, and he had always been a second-grade official, but he died in the lobby for some reason, and the case has not been solved so far. But everyone in Wei Chi's family knows that the person who shot must be this grandmother. ”

Yu Chi Ji breathed a long sigh of relief: "Later, the Wei Chi family sent people to look for her everywhere, but unfortunately her martial arts are extremely high, and she is smart and smart, so she disappeared into this world as if she had evaporated." Yu Chi Jiming sighed deeply again, "She is dressed in black, I don't know if she is for the dead clansmen, the negative Xiucai, or the innocent child Dai Xiao!" ”

Qiu Yizhi heard Wei Chi Jiming talk so miserable, his nose was sore, and his eyes were a little moist, so he hurriedly pretended to be scratched by Jiang Feng, stroked it lightly with his sleeve, and said, "Then how do you know that she is the predecessor of the Wei Chi family?" ”

Yu Chi Jiming lowered his head and never left the old woman's corpse beforehand: "I didn't recognize her, it was she who told me my identity when she saw that I had the kung fu of the Yu Chi family." Speaking of which, I still have to call her an old aunt and grandmother. She also pointed out a few martial arts methods and moves, which are enough for me to use in my life......"

Qiu Yizhi also sighed: "It seems that this old grandmother's heart is still towards her family." Since Ji Ming is her junior, don't report this matter to the court, so Ji Ming will come forward and I will pay for this old-timer! ”

Yu Chi Jiming nodded: "Actually, her martial arts are much stronger than mine, and she wants to take my life, I'm afraid that I'm cold now." If she hadn't cleared my blood before the shipwreck, maybe I'd be lying here now......"

Qiu Yizhi listened, sighed by the river for a while, and then went back to the house to rest.

No matter how strong the old aunt and grandmother of the Wei Chi family are in martial arts and how high their status in the rivers and lakes is, they are just a guard of the Tianzun Sect Master, and they can naturally deal with it in private. However, Wen Honghui is the number one criminal in the world, and even a dead corpse cannot be easily disposed of.

So Qiu Yizhi could only find another dry cellar, put the half-rotten corpse in it, and discussed with Lin Shuhan to draft a letter, telling Wang Lao Wu to send the girl to the capital immediately, and ask the emperor and the prime minister how to deal with it.

A few days later, although he returned to Jinling with Wang Lao Wu, in addition to a holy decree, there was also another sentry horse.

Zhang Longqiuyi, who led the army, knew him, and he had led the palace guards since he fought in the Youyan Palace, and now he was the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, and he was the henchman of the emperor's confidant - today the emperor Zheng Rong sent him over to deliver an errand, which must be extremely important to this matter. I saw that Zheng Rong's holy decree asked Qiu Yizhi to immediately hand over Wen Honghui's body to Zhang Long, and then Zhang Long sent it to Luoyang, the capital, to open the coffin and kill the corpse at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Qiu Yizhi actually didn't think much of this, but since it was the emperor's holy decree, he didn't have anything to say, so he asked someone to lift Wen Honghui's body out of the cellar.

The cellar was dry and cold and sheltered from the sun, and Qiu Yizhi ordered someone to sprinkle lime on top and bottom, so Wen Honghui's humanoid corpse was blistered and gradually showed its outline, and it was carefully identified as similar to the appearance of "Shi Wei" pretended to be Wen Honghui.

Wen Lingjiao heard the wind and came to see her brother's remains, and when she saw this scene, she cried again.

Qiu Yizhi persuaded Wen Lingjiao for a while, and then persuaded Wen Lingjiao to leave, and then ordered someone to take out the coffin that had been prepared for a long time, sprinkle lime and other things as usual, and carefully decorate the funeral before letting Zhang Long escort him north back to the capital.

At this point, a huge case of hijacking the minister of the Qincha by high-rollers in the rivers and lakes actually ended with the result of the Tianzun Sect Master pretending to be the minister of the Qincha.

If it weren't for his overconfidence, he actually wanted to persuade Qiu Yizhi, the son of the emperor's knee, to find out his identity. Such a fact, if it is made public, the face of the imperial court will not be able to be preserved no matter what, so it has to open one eye and close one eye, only saying that it is Jiangnan Dao Jiedu that Liu Qing is clever and capable, and in one fell swoop the Tianzun Sect bandits, and the Tianzun Sect Master was sunk by the Jiangnan Sailor and drowned in the process of escaping.

Since the imperial court has such a saying, Liu Qing, who has made a "great contribution", naturally has to increase his official ranks, and he cannot remove the fat difference of the Jiangnan Provincial Jie Du envoy for a while. Therefore, Liu Qing was overjoyed, not only prepared two big gifts for Qiu Yizhi and Lin Shuhan, but also invited the two of them to express his gratitude for several days.

Qiu Yizhi was annoyed by him, and thought that there was really nothing to do in Jinling now, so he didn't even say goodbye, so he led more than 200 men and horses back to Shanyin County.

Jinling made such a big move, and Shanyin County, among the hills and mountains, did not react at all, and it was still a quiet scene like a paradise.

These days, Qiu Yizhi has entrusted the affairs of Sanyin County to Xu Rong. Although Xu Rong is the eyeliner that His Royal Highness Zheng Xin planted beside him, after Qiu Yizhi and him said it thoroughly, he was able to fulfill his duties and govern Shanyin County at night.

Qiu Yizhi saw that there was nothing in the county that needed to be rectified by himself, and because Wen Lingjiao's brother was seriously ill and needed to recuperate after being buried at the bottom of the river, he did not often live in the yamen, but took a fancy to the "dust palace" of the thief Dao Gu Miaozhen, and invited Lin Shuhan, Wu Ruofei, Yu Chi Jiming and others to live in it.

The reason for Qiu Yizhi opened up the trade route between the emperor Zhou Cijing and the sea merchant Li Zhi, so the two families gave Qiu Yizhi a total of nearly 10,000 taels of silver every month.

So Qiu Yi thought that the yin qi of the "Dust Palace" was too heavy, so he paid someone to reorganize the "Dust Palace" that had no owner, especially the demolition of several dark rooms that killed people back then, the wisteria trellis where the dead bodies were buried, and the house where the Miaozhen monks lived was completely rebuilt, and according to the suggestions of Lin Shuhan and Wu Ruofei, the entire garden was rearranged properly, and it took two months of work before and after to complete the whole thing.

During this period, Emperor Zheng Rong sent several holy decrees to Qiu Yizhi, some of which were made as marquis because of his new merits; Some of them reported that they had successfully negotiated with the general of the Wa State and that they were to restrain the werewolf warriors of the Wa State from crossing the sea to commit crimes; Some of them asked for a proposal to close one of the ports in Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and to open another port in Jiangnan or Shandong Province.

Qiu Yizhi stayed with Wen Lingjiao all day long, occasionally discussed ancient and modern anecdotes with Lin Shuhan, and ran with Wei Chi Jiming, but he didn't put his mind on state affairs at all, and he was not interested in adding officials to the knighthood, so he only discussed with Lin Shuhan a little, and then hastily handed over the chapter and perfunctory.

In this way, time is aimless and as desired, as if a river of spring water is slowly passing away......
