Hu Baiqi understood a little when he heard this, and said: "So, brother, what do you mean, do you want me to make some contributions?" ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Although the Japanese in the coastal area are dangerous, for you, they are the level of advancement. Brother Hu, you go to ask Shibo for an errand, and you don't need to really go to the front line with a knife and a gun, and fight for your life, as long as you let Shibo see that you really want to do the right thing and make great contributions. Governor Shibo in the southeast, with more than 100,000 soldiers under his account, countless famous generals and ministers, are you afraid that you won't be able to make great achievements? When the time comes, just assign some credit to your name, as long as you are willing to do things, Shibo will naturally not care about how many concubines you accept. ”

Hu Baiqi nodded again and again. Yan Hong said again: "Brother Hu, if you want to make meritorious contributions, I still have a clever plan here, come with your ears." Hu Baiqi was overjoyed, and hurriedly listened obediently like a primary school student.

Yan Hong looked confident, stretched out two fingers and said: "If you want to achieve a great cause, you must make good use of talents." Brother Hu, this matter of suppressing widows, you can listen to Xu Wenchang, and rely on Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, so that everything can be decided. ”

After saying this clever plan, Yan Hong felt a little like he had crossed the gods, and his expression was complacent. But seeing Hu Baiqi said with a bitter face: "Brother Yan entertains me, what kind of trick are you calling, could it be that I still don't know that Mr. Xu is Zhuge in this world, and Yu and Qi are good at using soldiers?" It's just that they're awesome, and it's not my turn to use it. ”

Although Yan Hongpretended to be 13 failures, the general direction he pointed out still made Hu Baiqi see hope, turn his worries into joy, and thank him again and again. Yan Hong also instructed him to recruit An Wang Zhi, and the plan to eliminate Chen and Ye could not be changed, and he must explain it to Governor Hu. Hu Baiqi said goodbye happily, it seems that this gentleman is also going to do something this time.

After Yan Hong said hello to Xu Wenchang and Hu Baiqi, the two sides said goodbye and officially parted ways. The Governor's Standard Battalion is all elite soldiers, and the military orders are like mountains, and Xu Wenchang is also very strict in supervision, and the team will be allocated immediately. On Yan Hong's side, there are also the four general banners, the two family ding, the twenty official schools, Xu Hai and his wife, He Zhang, the two sharks, and the green beads, there are only more than 30 people in total, and it stands to reason that they should act more quickly. But Yan Hong thought that Wang Cuiqiao was now pot-bellied, so he didn't pay attention to aggravate his condition, so he just slowly walked east along the main road.

Not far away, the brocade guard behind the palace reported that there were flying horses galloping on the road. Yan Hong was nervous for a while, and hurriedly ordered the formation. Wang Ting shouted, Tao Zhi and Shao An led ten brocade guards, lined up, and the steel knife in their hands was unsheathed. Behind him, Liu Lian led four brocade guards, each taking out a crossbow. Wang Ting brought six official schools with his own wings to guard Yan Hong. Yan Feng and Yan Fu also stayed behind the young master. He and Zhang Ersha drew their knives in their hands and defended Xu Hai and Lu Zhu.

How do you know that this side is like a big enemy, but what comes is Guo Qian, the henchman of Shaoxing's local brocade clothes and hundreds of households in Deshui, who shouted Yan Qianhu from afar. Yan Hong saw that the person who came had no malicious intent, so he hurriedly met him.

It turns out that these 100 households are familiar with the water, but they are used to looking at the direction of the wind, and their ears and eyes are also very well-informed. Previously, he was in Shaoxing, and he received a lot of silver from Li Wenzao, so he naturally sold news to this government station in everything. However, after a big battle outside the Yamen of Shanyin County, Yu Deshui saw that this Yan Huhou, who was backed by the two big trees of Lu Dudu and Yan Ge, pretended to be crazy and stupid on the surface, but in fact his methods were very powerful. Seriously, I'm afraid that Lin Yangqian is not his opponent at all, and Master Li Wenzao and him are also in an unknown situation. Coupled with Hu Zongxian's attitude in this matter, Yu Deshui has actually quietly moved his buttocks.

When the news of Lin Yangqian's suicide came out, Yu Deshui was even more shocked. He is used to handling cases, and he already knows that Lin Lingyin's death is a little unclear. It seems that Xu Hai is very involved in this matter, and the bigwigs have begun to stop underwear. And among them, Mr. Li Wenzao's deeds are also a bit unclear. It is common for the prefect to fight with people, but if a prefect is murdered, it is another problem. If the case is really to be committed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the punishment of a knife, not to mention that the officialdom of the country and the dynasty itself is extremely taboo about this kind of naked assassination.

The attempted civil uprising a few days ago also sounded a wake-up call for him. With the spirit of Jinyiwei's ears and eyes, Yu Deshui did not hear the wind in advance. What's more, Yan Hong had already ordered him to pull the team to camp outside the inn. It's just that Li Wenzao spoke first, saying that it was no big deal, and it would be dispersed after making a fuss. Yu Deshui received countless silver coins from Li Wenzao, and his team naturally turned a blind eye to the ordinary people who bypassed themselves and went to the inn.

The evolution of events since then has been quite subtle and complicated. On the one hand, the number of people gathered was as high as tens of thousands, which was far more than Yu Deshui expected. On the other hand, they really didn't make any serious results, they were just talking about it. Although this matter was reported directly, the imperial court could not tolerate it, but it did not cause irreversible damage, and on the whole, it was within the controllable range of concealment and deception.

But at this juncture, when he came to Qincha, he also mocked the acting magistrate of Shanyin County, which was a bit bad. What's even more serious is that after the incident, Jin Yiwei, who was under Yu De's sailors, actually found nine corpses in a nearby alley, all of them with fierce faces, armed with steel knives, and the corpses were also equipped with exquisite crossbows made by Jin Yiwei. This thing is all too familiar to Yu Deshui. He sold these nine old friends to Li Taishou and changed him to a room like a flower concubine, not wanting to appear in this alley.

The problem then worsened. After an autopsy, it was found that three of the nine corpses still had lotus flowers painted on their hands! It is said that tattoos are nothing new in Daming, but the lotus flower has its unique meaning at this time - the White Lotus Sect! If a lotus flower may just be a tyrant who lacks political acumen and accidentally tattooed a taboo body, but three of the people in the group have lotus flowers, and there is a problem with how to look at this matter.

Thinking that Li Taishou had somehow been involved with the White Lotus Sect, and that the hand crossbow he had sold to him also appeared in the hands of someone who might be a disciple of the White Lotus Sect, Yu Deshui's soul was almost frightened. In this way, his position immediately changed, and he began to sincerely consider Yan Hong and Yan Huhou.

This time, he sent his henchman Guo Qian to chase Yan Hong, just to inform him of two things. The first is that there is a lotus picture on this corpse, and the second is that Li Wenzao and Mrs. Li are not in a good mood, and Yan Huhou may have to be careful on the road. It would be best if you could follow the Governor Standard Camp all the time.

When Yan Hong heard the news, he pretended to be calm on his face, rewarded Guo Qian with five taels of silver, thanked Yu Baizai for his kindness, and asked him to report quickly, saying that the official had his own arrangements for this way, and Yu Baizai was guarding the place. But after Guo Qian left, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

Originally, I thought that after the holy decree was issued, Xu Hai's matter should come to an end. However, judging from Lin Yangqian's death, this Li Wenzao really has some ghost ideas that do not follow the rules. Linked to the nine corpses that died in the alley, as well as what Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao said, Li Wenzao and Haihai had a lot of mutual communication. Several aspects are together, once Li Wenzao really jumps off the wall in a hurry, the outcome will be unpredictable.

If Xu Wenchang is here, he can still get a charter. It's a pity that when they parted ways half a day ago, Yan Hong forgot to ask, and Xu Wenchang didn't expect Li Wenzao to dare to do it, so he didn't leave any tricks. Yan Hong didn't have much to do. Think about the split-petal plum blossom meter that Xu Wenchang used when he was trapped in the inn a few times ago, in order to send the holy decree out of the house. Now I have to repeat the old tricks and follow suit.

Immediately, Yan Hong ordered the whole team to step up and enter the town in front of him to stay. After that, I changed my clothes overnight and prepared. There were originally two carriages in the procession, but Yan Hong took out the silver and bought three more in the town. Erjiading, Si Zongqi, and Twenty Official Academies, together with Xu Hai, Ersha, and Yan Hong himself, were a total of thirty men. Yan Hong divided the people into five teams, each team of six men, a carriage, and took advantage of the dawn to leave the inn here and go in five ways.

Among them, Wang Ting all the way, He and Zhang Ersha all followed, and chose a tall captain in brocade clothes, put on his own Qianhu flying fish suit, and chose a medium-sized, solid and strong, fierce-looking captain, and changed into Xu Hai's clothes. Another lieutenant drove the empty carriage and continued straight to the East Road. In this way, there is a lot of trouble, which makes people feel that this road must be where Xu Hai is. Yan Hong instructed them that if they arrived in Zhoushan, they had to find the old shipowner Wang Zhi or Xu Hai's own brothers, and they must tell them that Xu Hai had escaped from danger and that nothing would happen.

Yan Hong and Xu Hai are in a group with Tao Zhi, Shao An, Yan Feng, and Yan Fu. Xu Hai also put on the clothes of the generals of the Yan Mansion, pretending to be a brocade cloth, and in the carriage was Wang Cuiqiao's master and servant, who went northeast to Cixi, intending to go to sea in a roundabout way. In addition, Liu Lian and the seventeen Jinyi official schools were divided into three groups, each group was also a carriage, all the way to the southeast to the sea, all the way to the north to Hangzhou Bay, and all the way to the northwest to make the appearance of wanting to catch up with Xu Wen's team, so that people did not know their true intentions.

Speaking of Yan Hong's own way, Yan Fu pretended to be a groom, shook the whip and urged the horse, and drove away. Yan Hong was dressed as a general, pretending to be an ordinary official school, and followed the car. Xu Hai, who was also dressed up, walked side by side with him, but he was quite reluctant to go, and said: "There is a strict and small minister, why should you take risks in person." ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "What did my brother-in-law say, we are all our own family, what are you polite about." Besides, my little ambition, brother, still has to be realized on you, sister-in-law. Watching you and my sister get on the boat, I was relieved. ”

Since the separation of the two days, it has entered the territory of Cixi. Yan Hong had arranged for Wang Ting to go all the way, but he walked on the trail himself, and the population gradually decreased. It is also thanks to Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao's familiarity with the terrain of the south of the Yangtze River. Zhejiang's so-called seven mountains, two rivers and one field, but there are many mountains. The vehicle was bumpy, and Yan Hongsheng was afraid that Wang Cuiqiao would be uncomfortable, so he repeatedly ordered to slow down. It's also comfortable to look at the scenery along the way.
