Immediately, a banquet was held on the ship. The pirates came all the way by boat, and there was nothing to eat on board. It's nothing more than fresh fish and salted meat, and there are not even many fresh vegetables. Fortunately, everyone reunited after the catastrophe, and they didn't care about this. At the banquet, Xu Hai and his wife repeatedly thanked Yan Hong for his kindness.

Yan Hong said: "Sister, sister-in-law, to say that this grace of recreation is really a gift from the saints. In the future, my sister-in-law will make great contributions to the court, and that will be the best reward. Now that the situation in the East China Sea is very urgent, we will leave it at that. My sister-in-law still hurried to the sea, one to join the people, and the other to meet the old ship owner Wang Zhi, and thwart Chen Dong and Ye Ma's plan, so as not to ruin the livelihood of the coastal people. ”

Xu Hailian claimed to be. Wang Cuiqiao said: "Brother Hong, this old ship owner Wang Zhi is also a hero of Huizhou. You don't want to see it? ”

See Wang Zhi? Yan Hong's heart moved. However, the most reluctant finally dispelled this idea. First, Wang Zhifei is better than Xu Hai, Xu Hai has already been recruited, and he was put in prison and waited for him to save his life. Wang Zhi is now like a sea overlord. It's better not to see it if you go so recklessly, but it's better to be ready to talk about it. Second, the so-called seeking his own government in his office. He went south this time, and he was ordered by Lu Bing to only deal with Xu Hai's affairs. If you really meet Wang Zhi in private, this trouble is not a little bit.

Therefore, he said to Wang Cuiqiao: "The old shipowner has been at sea for many years, and he is powerful in both oceans, and such a character is indeed worth seeing." However, I am an official of the imperial court, but I must act under the orders of the top. It would be too reckless to meet on this occasion. When he has an order from the governor of the land and land, it is not too late to meet again. ”

After the banquet, the two went their separate ways. The previous decree of forgiveness of sins had been issued, and Hu Zongxian had boldly sent an official document asking Hu Kui to bring it to Xu Hai. Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao have Hu Zongxian's official documents on them, but they are no longer afraid that the officers and soldiers will come to find fault again.

Yan Hong took his subordinates Jinyiwei, Jiading and the Jinyiwei of 100 households in Cixi, turned around and traveled westward, and landed in Cixi. Nacixi was originally Zhao Wenhua's hometown, and many of the local officials were Yan henchmen.

Yan Hong stayed in Cixi for three days before he got up and headed west. The ten brocade guards who accompanied the escort were each rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and the other party also rejoiced. traveled all the way, and when he arrived in Hangzhou, he joined Liu Lian and other three-way Jinyi guards who he sent out. At this time, Hu Zongxian and Xu Wenchang had already gone to the coast to inspect the military situation of the Japanese army. is the third son of Hu Baiqi Hu, who is also in the army with his father. It seems that this guy really took Yan Hong's idea seriously, and was determined to work hard and fight for a woman's fame.

Yan Hong doesn't care, there is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, such a scenery, there is no one to receive it, how can you play for a few more days? What's more, the official who stayed in Hu Zongxian's signature, knowing that his master had spent his old nose to get into the periphery of the Yan Party, and now that the eldest son of Yan is here, how can he not be stuttered? So Yan Hong took Jinyiwei and his family to linger in West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Feilai Peak and other places. There are also the beauties in the painting boat on the lake, the swallows are thin and fat, and they have their own style. Yan Hong has been abstinent for a long time, and he can't help but be happy for a few days, so he chartered a big ship and went north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

When he came, he was worried about Xu Hai's life, although he said to Wang Cuiqiao calmly, after all, he could only get up at night and in the morning, or even travel day and night. On the way back, the big thing has been completed, so when you see the beautiful scenery of the state and county, you might as well stop for a day or two. In this way, the trip is naturally slower. It was nearly seven months to go to Tongzhou to change boats and arrive in Beijing.

Yan Hongshe's boat landed on the shore, urging the "Jade Dragon to step on the snow" and drive straight to the east gate. It was still early at the moment, and Yan Hong expected that his grandfather and father were still on duty in Xiyuan. I thought it would be better to go to the Yamen of Benwei first, give an errand to Lu Bing, and then go back to the mansion. So he ordered Yan Fu to take his luggage and souvenirs back to the vegetable market to send a letter to his family, and repeatedly instructed him not to say that he was captured in Cixi. He took the rest of the people and went to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard.

The captain on the door saw that Yan Hong was extremely courteous, and there was a hint of flattery in his actions. This Yan Hong is not strange, his own identity is not welcomed. It's just that today seems to be more powerful than a few months ago, but I don't know why. Could it be that he learned that he had made a great contribution this trip and was about to be promoted?

Yan Hong asked Yan Feng to wait outside the yamen, and he was able to enter the yamen. Wang Ting and other general flags and school captains have already returned to their respective yamen to report. Yan Hong went to the door of the White Tiger Hall by himself, but was told that Lu Bing was not in Weizhong today. He turned around and was just about to leave, when he heard someone shouting, "Brother Yan Shi, come here." ”

Looking for prestige, I saw that it was Na Mu Deng Gao Mu who shouted to him. When the case of Zheng Guoqi was cracked, it was still someone else's office. After cracking the case, Yan Hong basically stopped going to the yamen, and the old man naturally recovered from his illness and returned to work. The two were also familiar with each other, and Yan Hong followed Mu Denggao into his room.

Yan Hong is young and has a low position, and he was just about to salute Mu Denggao, but Mu Denggao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, Brother Yan Shi, you have caused a lot of trouble this time." ”

Yan Hongfang sat down, and when he heard this, he was shocked: "Master Mu, let's listen to things, don't joke, what's going on?" ”

Mu Denggao said: "Who is joking with you? You led the crowd to smash the Sanyin County Ya and rob people; Beat the Qipin main hall of the national dynasty, and caused a Hanlin born in the big order to hang the beam, such as the funeral of his wife. Looking at the whole country, how many people can act so arrogantly? I'm afraid that those imperial masters have eaten your heart. ”

Yan Hong was not surprised when he heard that this matter was said to be like this. Since he acted this time, he was already quite shocked, not to mention that Lin Yangqian's death was unknown, although he suspected that it was Li Wenzao's hand, how could others believe it? But of course he couldn't admit it, so he just sneered: "Reversing black and white, it's shameless, let these guys chew their tongues." If you talk about this matter, it may not be a big disaster, and if it is a big deal, you will be dismissed from your post and never be used. ”

When Mu Denggao heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Where did the world brother come from." If this matter is to be dismissed, where will the face of Shoufu and Xiaoge Lao go? Besides, the Heavenly Family has just issued a decree to pardon Xu Hai, and if you are dismissed, what is the right and wrong of this matter? Hehe, if you go down, it shouldn't be what our courtiers should talk about. Your disposition has come down, and you will be fined for three months, as an example. ”

Yan Hong couldn't help but be happy. I didn't expect my punishment to be so light, in other words, it was equivalent to not being punished. What is the money for three months' money to the eldest young master of the Yan Mansion? At that moment he asked, "In that case, what kind of disaster are you talking about?" ”

Mu Denggao looked at Yan Hong in surprise and said, "Brother Shi, do you really not know the Dao?" What you have done, you don't know yourself? ”

Yan Hong said blankly: "What do I know?" Brother Maku, don't entertain your brother, if you have something to say, let's talk about it. ”

Mu Denggao shook his head and said, "Brother, since you don't know the way, I can't say it." I can only say, you ...... Why are you so careless? After Governor Lu Dadu nodded this morning, he heard that he had returned to his home. You'd better hurry up and go to Lu Dudu's mansion and make it clear. You have caused the trouble yourself, you have to figure out a way by yourself, and take the charter, otherwise you will really have to make a big basket! ”

Yan Hong was confused, thinking that he was going to see Lu Bing anyway, so it would be good to go there. So he said goodbye to Mu Denggao and left. After he went out, Mu Denggao shook his head and said:

"Young man, it's normal to be amorous and lustful, but you shouldn't even tease the daughter of the Governor of Lu. What's more, there is such a big handle left? If this one is not good, I am afraid that I will not even be able to save my life. However, if it is handled well, it will be in vain for the old man to befriend him. ”

Yan Hong didn't know what the old man was muttering behind him. Since you said that you went to Lu Bing's mansion, could it be that the scourge was related to Lu Bing? Thinking that he went to Jiangnan this time, it can be regarded as doing things for Lu Bing, and on the whole, it can be regarded as a complete merit. Even if there is any misfortune, will he not protect himself from it? But if you think about it carefully, this Shibo seems to have always been accustomed to using himself as a gun. Yan Hong thought about this, urged the horse all the way, and went straight to the outside of Lu Bing's mansion.

Lu Dadu's Mansion is different from other places, the deacons outside the door are not the family members in green clothes and small hats, but the official school in bright yellow brocade clothes, which is really extraordinary. Yan Hong is also familiar with the way, and he has come more than once. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he called Yan Feng and waited outside, turned over and dismounted, and led the jade dragon into the alley, but before he could greet the official school on the door, he heard a delicate voice coming from behind him: "Is Yan Dagongzi ahead?" ”

Yan Hongxun looked for prestige, and it turned out that there was a young and handsome girl standing behind him, who looked very cute. Looking at the clothes, she looks like a maid from a big family.

Yan Hong didn't know her, but subconsciously nodded and said, "Under Yan Hong." The little girl suddenly showed a sweet smile and said: "Sure enough, it is the eldest son of Yan, I have heard for a long time that the eldest prince of Yan Yushu is in the wind, handsome and chic, I can see it today, it is really worthy of the name." The little maid is a maid of the Lu Mansion, and she was ordered by the lord to wait for the son here, saying that if the son comes, he does not have to go to the front door, and follows the little maid to the back house to see the master. ”

Yan Hong is self-conscious, and he does call the word handsome, and he has done several major things in the past year, and he has a lot of experience, and his bearing is further improved than the big young master who specializes in business in the past, and sometimes he looks beautiful in the mirror. It's just that few women would praise him to his face like this. Even if she is a genuine lady in the family, she is still the little girl who has just fallen in love with herself, and she has never openly praised herself for being handsome and chic.

Now being praised in person by a young girl who is quite beautiful, Yan Hong can't help but feel fluttering for a while. It took him a long time to go to Jiangnan, and now that he has returned to Beijing, his mood is already very relaxed. I couldn't help but think in my heart, this little girl has such a sweet mouth, but I don't know what it means to me? Is it possible to find a chance to hook up and hook up when you look back? I thought in my heart, but after all, Lu Bing's orders were important. So Yan Hong's footsteps did not stop, and he turned towards the back door of the Lu Mansion with the maid.
