"The people of the Qin family came by boat and brought a lot of boxes and bedding."

"The Zhao family's house was too small, and there were too many people they were going to entertain, so they rented a lot of open space and built a courtyard for the house. Prepare for a celebration there. ”

"The Zhao family's ship took over the sale of grain, loaded it and went to Fuzhou."

"Deputy Commander Zhu sent someone to inform him that Zhao Jiaren had ordered him to lead troops to Jinjiang on the eighth day of the first month to suppress the True God Cultists."

Thinking about this information, Pu Shougeng felt that Zhao Jiaren was ready to start working after the wedding, which made him feel much better. Obviously, time is not on Zhao Jiaren's side. Pu Shougeng knew very well that the basis of the Great Song Dynasty's system was taxation, and the pirate invasion and the fleet did not return to Quanzhou Port, and the core of all the means he prepared was to prevent the Quanzhou government from collecting taxes smoothly.

Zhao Jiaren is by no means the only one in Quanzhou Prefecture who wants to attack the Pu family, but the Pu family has escaped the disaster every time. The reason is very simple, Zhizhou only has a three-year term, and if the two-year assessment is poor, their official career will probably be over. The Pu family has been in Quanzhou for decades, and they have endured losses for several years. Those Zhizhou who were forced to compromise with Pu Shougeng couldn't withstand the strong pressure, so they had to give in. With these experiences, the Pu family has developed their own philosophy, and the only way to pursue peace is through struggle.

Recalling the previous ups and downs, Pu Shougeng straightened his waist and leaned on the back of the hard chair, his eyes calming down again.

"You bunch of rubbish, let you look for the Mongols, and the people who went there will not come back for months. Let you find the people of the Great Song Dynasty, you are also useless! Pu Shiwen's angry scolding came from outside the hall.

Pu Shougeng didn't say anything. Based on his knowledge of his son, it won't be too long before Pu Shiwen will come in and talk to Pu Shougeng about this. Sure enough, Pu Shiwen strode into the flower hall and complained to his father as soon as he opened his mouth, "Those Great Song Dynasty officials were full of promises when they took money from us, and when they should contribute, they all changed into shrunken turtles." Up to now, no official has been willing to write a recital to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Pu Shougeng was not particularly excited. Zhao Jiaren is the highest-ranking official in Quanzhou, and there must be some Quanzhou officials who are dissatisfied with Zhao Jiaren, but the evaluation of officials is a matter for the ministry, and these people remember that they have to wait for the evaluation before they can send a message to the ministry. In addition, the only ones who can kill Zhao Jiaren are those big officials in the court. In the past, the Pu family had some contacts with many officials who had left Quanzhou, and this time they also sent people to deliver letters to them. Judging from Pu Shiwen's swearing, the people who came back to report this time, like those who came before, were not able to get the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to promise to impeach Zhao Jiaren.

"Don't worry. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and now no one wants to jump out and hit the wall with their head first, and when the wall is broken, it will be different. Don't be in a hurry. Pu Shougeng asked his son to calm down first.

"Father. In the past, those Zhizhou didn't have a fleet in their hands, but now our fleet can't beat Zhao Jiaren, a thief. Pu Shiwen said something that seemed a little timid, but then Pu Shiwen revealed his true colors, "It's better for us to get rid of Zhao Jiaren." Find someone he trusts to give him medicine. Or just offer a woman to him? ”

Listening to this suggestion, Pu Shougeng frowned slightly, his son is good at everything, but he is too anxious to do things. After a moment of silence, Pu Shougeng said: "Now that Zhao Jiaren is newly married Yan'er, it is probably not appropriate to send a woman." Now I think it would have been nice if I had done it earlier. We can wait, you go to the woman who believes in the true God first, and we will prepare in other ways. Wait for this Zhao Jiaren's woman to get pregnant, and find a way to send it to him. ”

Listening to his father's opinion, Pu Shiwen couldn't help but nod again and again. is more fierce than fierce, Pu Shiwen is quite confident. But more thoughtfully, Pu Shiwen has always admired his father Pu Shougeng very much. "Father, I'll go find someone now. But the day after tomorrow, Zhao Jiaren's little ghost is going to get married, should we give him a gift? ”

"Of course I want to send it! They are all old households in Quanzhou City, even if we don't go to watch the ceremony in person, where is there a reason not to give gifts. Pu Shougeng said with a smile.

Pu Shiwen was unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that his father's decision was right. With a very unhappy mood, Pu Shiwen went to prepare some very common gifts. Order someone to wrap it up and write a good name. I was going to send someone to Zhao Jiaren on the day I got married.

As night fell, in the northeast direction of more than 30 miles away from Quanzhou, a fleet of ships was assembled. It was twenty-four battleships, and each of them was stuffed with men. Li Hongjun, who led the team, ordered, "Drop anchor, and every ship should be optimistic." When the sky is about to dawn, he will anchor and head to Quanzhou. Hurry up and rest, everybody. Tomorrow is going to be busy! ”

All the people in the Fuzhou school who could be used were stuffed into the fleet and transported here, and those who were not reliable in the investigation before getting on the ship were sent to the shipyard to do heavy physical work, and the guys were tired to death. I probably can't even walk on the road, let alone use any crooked brains.

Even so, the reason for the fleet to set sail was not to kill the Pu family, but to conduct exercises. Since it was a drill, it was natural to bring weapons. When I got on the ship, I told everyone that this time I was ordered to solve the Pu family by order of the imperial court. In the past, every time Li Hongjun made a move on the Pu family, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. That kind of private action is actually no different from pirates, at most, the head of the pirates is a big pirate, and Li Hongjun's head is a big official.

After seeing the official document of Dali Temple with his own eyes, the only remaining uneasiness in Li Hongjun's heart has flown out of the clouds. This is an official document of the imperial court, and the Pu family is no longer just a pirate, but also a traitor who colludes with the Mongols. Killing a thief is not only meritorious, but also deserves to be rewarded. After completely getting rid of the guilt in his heart, Li Hongjun felt that he was full of strength.

When some students who had never done anything to the Pu family questioned why they wanted to kill businessmen, Li Hongjun took out an official document from Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Zhizhou, put the official document on the nose of those academies and shouted: "What do you mean by killing businessmen?!" The Pu family is all bandits. Can the words of the government be false, you don't even believe the government? You don't even believe what Zhao Zhizhou said when he looked for the principal?! Well!! ”

If a person is confident, his words will have momentum. was cut off by Li Hongjun for a while, and the people below shrank their necks and didn't dare to say anything more. The bad guys that the imperial court recognized would have been considered bad guys, not to mention that even Principal Zhao ordered them together.

Although it was June, the sea temperature was not high. With the windows open, everyone on board fell asleep. When it was time to set sail, only the sailors who sailed the ship began to get to work. The first light on the way forward was the fire that had been lit yesterday on a small boat anchored several miles away. With only three ships relayed, you can indicate the course to Quanzhou. Li Hongjun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zhao Jiaren was really meticulous in his work, if Li Hongjun was asked to arrange it, he would not be able to think of such a way anyway. It is really difficult to determine the exact direction of the sea in the dark night.

The early morning sea breeze hung up, and there were not many people on the streets. The knock on the door woke up Deputy Commander Zhu Qi, and he angrily scolded outside: "Go and see who woke people up so early in the morning." After shouting, Deputy Commander Zhu Qi turned over and turned his back to the window. The light on the eyelids feels very uncomfortable.

It didn't take long for a conversation to come from outside. After another moment, the soldiers came and knocked on the door of Zhu Qi's bedroom. Zhu Qi was furious, he made a fuss early in the morning, and let people not sleep? Driven by a strong sense of getting up, Zhu Qi turned over and got up, and shouted outside, "What's the matter? ”

"Commander Zhu, did Zhao Zhizhou send someone to invite you?" The soldier replied cautiously.

"Is he married today?" Zhu Qi was a little confused, he remembered that Zhao Jiaren would only get married tomorrow, but when he met Zhao Jiaren so early in the morning, could it be that Zhu Qi himself remembered it wrong?

"It's business. Zhao Zhizhou sent someone to say, saying that the imperial court sent someone to deliver the decree and asked Zhu to go to the yamen together. The soldier replied.

Hearing that it was the will of the imperial court, Zhu Qi had to reluctantly get up. After grinding for a long time, Deputy Commander Zhu Qi put on his clothes and opened the door. Outside the door, I saw an errand waiting at the door, along with Zhao Jiaren's staff. Seeing Zhu Qi come out, the staff immediately handed over the official document to Zhu Qi, and then said: "Deputy Commander Zhu, Zhao Zhizhou urgently ordered you to go to the Zhizhou Yamen, and the carriage and horses have been prepared at the door." ”

Zhu Qi didn't want to go at all, but looking at this posture, he knew that something really happened. He muttered, "It's not breakfast yet." ”

"It's okay. Breakfast had already been prepared in the yamen. Deputy Commander Zhu doesn't need to worry. The staff said to Zhu Qi with a very bureaucratic smile.

No, Zhu Qi changed his official uniform. After getting into the car, he leaned back in the chair of the carriage, and with the slight shaking of the body, Zhu Qi actually fell asleep again. Because he fell asleep, Zhu Qi didn't notice that after he got in the car, someone had already taken a shortcut and went straight to the place where Zhao Jiaren was holding a wedding.

At this time, a bamboo fence had been erected around the place, and red cloth was hung inside, so that nothing could be seen from the outside. Zhao Jiaren was sitting in the tent in an official uniform, and those who reported the news were going in and out one by one in the clothes of the wedding errand boys. Just looking at the appearance, I am beaming.

"Those people have already started to move. Now let's get ready. Zhao Jiaren calmly ordered.

In front of him sat a number of captains, squadron leaders, and squad leaders, and on the table in front of them was a model of Fuzhou City, and on those positions that attacked Pujia were placed puppets representing the squadrons of each brigade.

"Who else hasn't run these roads?" Zhao Jiaren finally asked.

No one said a word, and the captain of the squadron of the brigade had walked the road of the attack many times in the past few days under the cover of preparing for marriage. You probably can't make a mistake if you close your eyes.

"Then get ready to go." Zhao Jiaren stood up, drew his stabbing sword and stabbed it in the middle of the model, and the Pujia compound in the center was pierced by a sword from front to back.

"Yes!" All the captains stood up and answered. After more than a month of preparation, the final battle officially began.
