The coastal areas of Fujian, which had just calmed down for a few months, were once again set off in a wild wave at the end of May, and a fleet of sea wolves suddenly reappeared in the coastal areas of Fujian, although this time they did not attack the shore in a big way, but they still chose a few places, and went ashore to knock out the mansions of several gentry who opposed the sea wolves outside the city, and the farthest even went deep into the land within nearly 100 miles, and the place where they passed was like entering a no-man's land.

When they heard that the sea wolves had begun to operate on the beach again, they did not rush to the place of the accident as soon as they heard the news, but immediately gathered their forces and withdrew to the acropolis or barracks.

And this time the sea wolf did not take the initiative to attack these officers and soldiers, as long as the officers and soldiers did not take their own eyes and ran to find trouble for them, they only did what they had to do, knocked out the walnuts, knocked out the village forts of some gentry who were enemies of the sea wolves, and after a big raid, they retreated to the sea.

These are not too excessive, what is even more excessive is that the fleet of sea wolves actually hung up the sea wolf flag with swagger, and reappeared in the Jinjiang estuary, Meizhou Bay, and even in the Minjiang estuary.

A few warships flying the sea wolf battle flag actually broke into these forbidden places in a big way, released their sampans, and began to explore the water depth in the river channel.

After hearing the news, Cai Shanji, a leftist political officer in Fujian, turned pale with anger, and said angrily: "This treacherous surnamed Yu has already said that he has already said a truce?" Now that all of a sudden, what do you want to do? ”

After hearing this, a staff member next to him frowned and hurriedly waved his hand to drive the attendants out of the room, and then whispered: "Your Excellency, please be cautious!" If this kind of talk spreads, it will damage the image of adults! In case if you let those fans know the news, it will not be transmitted to the Jingshi, in that case, I'm afraid it will be troublesome! ”

Cai Shanji was also frightened when he heard this, his face suddenly turned a little pale, and he quickly nodded yes, and immediately recruited a few servants and two maids who were in the house just now into the house, showing a stern expression, and shouted to them: "You haven't heard anything today, if this matter is spread out, don't blame the official for being unkind to you!" If I let this official hear the slightest bit of news, I will never let any of you go! Did you hear it all? ”

Several servants and maids were so frightened that they knelt down and said yes again and again, and then were driven out of the city by Cai Shanji like a duck.

Looking at the backs of these servants who were driven out, Cai Shanji couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat, he privately negotiated a peace agreement with the sea wolf, only a few people knew about it, including his nearest domestic servant, he didn't dare to let them know it, even his wife and concubine, he didn't dare to tell it, let alone leave any written things, all the written things involved in this matter were all burned by him.

The standard of this kind of thing is to see the light and die, although there are also rumors in the market that he and the sea wolf negotiated peace, but after all, this is just a rumor in the market, and there is no way to take him without evidence, if the people around him spread the news of the matter, it will definitely be Jinyiwei learned the news, and after sending it to Jingshi, it is indispensable that the Wei Party will make a big fuss about this matter, and his whole family is estimated to be unlucky at that time.

So he said these words in a hurry today, and in hindsight, it really scared him.

After seeing that there was no one else in the room, Wen Liufang invited Cai Shanji to sit down and said: "Dong Weng, please calm your anger for the time being, although the adult and the thief have reached an agreement, but this kind of thing must not be let others know about it, otherwise it will definitely cause chaos!"

As for the wolf thief suddenly doing such a thing this time, the student thought that it had something to do with the new Futai adult!

You must know that after the first two Futai adults of Lu Dao took office, they all tried to be unfavorable to the wolf thief, and the students felt that this time it was likely that after hearing that the new Futai Lord had arrived, Yu Thief wanted to give Xiong Futai a blow first, and let Xiong Futai extinguish the idea of continuing to fight him! ”

Cai Shanji reached out and picked up a sweat towel on the table, dipped the sweat on his forehead, coughed dryly to hide the fear and embarrassment in his heart, nodded and said, "This is possible!" But is he doing it too much? You must know that the matter of Lu Dao at the beginning of this year has just subsided, once he provokes this Lord Xiong, and forces Lord Xiong to ask the imperial court to unite with several provincial capitals to suppress it, what good will it do him Yu Xiaotian? ”

Wen Liufang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This Yu Xiaotian acts, he can't be judged by ordinary people, he does this, he can't get his thoughts, now the key is to look at Xiong Futai's side, how to deal with this matter!"

But now the sea wolf's fleet has sailed to the mouth of the Min River, but it directly threatens the safety of Fuzhou City, although there is Xiong Futai in charge, but the adults also need to take care of the prefect and the capital side, and make some preparations, in case that Yu Xiaotian is mad and shells Fuzhou City, I am afraid that this matter will be very big. ”

Cai Shanji could only nod yes, beckoned people in, and began to arrange.

Just when Cai Shanji was shocked, Xiong Wencan of course also received the news, the urgent reports from the coastal state capitals flew to the governor's yamen like snowflakes, some asked for help, some warned them, and the governor's yamen was lively for a while, and Xiong Wencan was also stunned, and for a while he couldn't figure out why the wolf thief was mad again.

It stands to reason that after he took office this time, he didn't make a gesture to deal with the sea wolf at all, and even when the officials were deliberating, they rarely mentioned these things, just asked about some of the things that happened last year and the civil affairs of various places, but what kind of wind is this Yu Xiaotian worried about this time? Well, why did you suddenly go crazy again?

So he hurriedly sent an order to the general of Fubiao, ordering him to immediately strengthen the defense of the area around Fuzhou City, and send people to guard the mouth of the Min River to prevent wolves and thieves from entering the city, and also sent an order to the coastal state capitals to strengthen their guards, especially for the city must not have any mistakes, otherwise they will be asked!

After these things were arranged, he hurriedly summoned his staff to his outer study to discuss matters, wanting to hear what these staff members had on this matter, and why Yu Xiaotian suddenly went crazy again.

Some people say that this is Yu Xiaotian to demonstrate to Xiong Wencan, some people say that Yu thief has reversed course, and some people say that after the wolf thief is powerful, he is no longer afraid of official authority and recklessness.

But in the end, one person stood up and said, "My lord! Students think that there may be all of these reasons, but not really! ”

"Oh? So what do you think of filial piety? Xiong Wencan glanced at the staff of the subordinates who stood up and spoke, this person was only about thirty years old, he was a lifter from his hometown, after being admitted to the lifter, he came out to travel, and later because of his fellow villagers, he joined Xiong Wencan's door and acted as Xiong Wencan's staff.

This person usually acts in a low-key manner and rarely comes out to speak, but his brain is quite flexible, and he can always point to the key place when he occasionally says something, so Xiong Wencan also looks at him quite differently, and when he saw him get up to speak today, he asked him politely.

This Qian Xiaocheng saw that Xiong Wencan noticed him, so he continued: "The student thinks that this Yu thief is afraid that this thief is menacing this time, not to plunder the coastal areas of Fujian again, I am afraid that he has another deep meaning in doing so!"

The students also read the Tang newspapers in various places in the past few days, although the wolf thieves held a big move this time, but it was softer than the last activity, they did not attack the county seat or the big market town, nor did they take the initiative to attack the defenders in various places, but only pulled out some forts.

Although there is an element of demonstration, the students feel that they seem to have a feeling of putting pressure on the adults, and they can't figure out that the thief wants to force the adults to take the initiative to recruit them this time? ”

After listening to Qian Xiaocheng's words, there was an uproar in the room, many people felt that this was unlikely, where was there such a means to take the initiative to force the government to recruit security?

But after Xiong Wencan listened, he didn't speak, lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "And no matter what he wants to do now, in short, his demonstration to the official this time can't be fake!" In that case, it seems that this matter cannot be delayed! Let's disperse, Xiaocheng will stay for a while, this official has something to discuss with you! ”

After everyone dispersed, they looked back at Xiong Wencan's outer study, and they were a little jealous, after all, through this incident, this Qian Xiaocheng can basically be regarded as Xiong Wencan's cronies, and he can become the governor's cronies, as long as Xiong Wencan's career goes smoothly in the future, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to people like them to be promoted.

As the saying goes, a year Qing prefect 100,000 snowflakes silver, this is also talking about the standard Qing officials, do not reach out to take the money that should not be taken, not to mention that these people now have a few people who plan to be what bullshit Qing officials, in addition to wanting to be an official lintel, who doesn't want to make a big profit during the official period and save a lot of money for future generations?

So it is undoubtedly a very eye-catching thing to be able to enter the list of Xiong Wencan's cronies, but there is no way, who made Qian Xiaocheng and Xiong Wencan themselves fellow villagers, plus this Qian Xiaocheng is a very smart person, it can't be compared!
