In fact, there is a great possibility that Master Yang will not be so miserable.

According to the situation he explained to the Song family and Xie Meijun, he only helped the Yangzhou prefect to collect money, and he did not make a disaster of anger and resentment, and he did not hurt a few lives, but there may be a few families who went bankrupt, but he rarely came forward to be the bad guy, at most he came up with ideas. Of course, he also has a piece of the pie, not much, just to let his boss believe that he is his own person, not a second or five boy who succumbs to his face and pokes a knife behind his back.

He claimed that this was due to the power of his boss, and he did not dare to disobey, so he had to reluctantly become an accomplice.

It's just that only he knows what the truth is. Both Song and Xie Meijun had reservations about his rhetoric, and Xie Mulin had no reason to believe his honesty.

I hope he can really resign decisively and get out of the quagmire of Yangzhou, otherwise he will become cannon fodder at any time and be solved by the envoy sent by the capital together with the prefect of Yangzhou. It's just that according to his own explanation, because he has a handle in the hands of his boss, he is now saying that he wants to leave halfway, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Even if the prefect of Yangzhou knows that he is difficult to protect, he will not kindly let go of his accomplices, and most of them want everyone to die together, right?

After the Song family and Xie Meijun got the handwritten letter from Master Yang, they calmed down a lot, and they were already writing back to their hometown, asking Xie Zeshan, the eldest master of the sect, to come forward and talk to the Yang family about Xie Meijun and Yang Yiquan officially severing their relationship and taking away a pair of children. If Mrs. Yang refuses, Master Yang's letter is the Xie family's reliance, and the Yang family has no reason not to agree. Since seeing Jiao Wenying in the capital, the anxiety that the Song family and Xie Meijun have been thinking about has finally dissipated a lot, and the next thing is to see the speed of the Xie family's actions, whether they can catch up with the speed of cleaning up the Lin family's henchmen in the capital.

Regardless of whether the Yang family will be reduced to the point of exile, the Xie family does not want to get involved in this kind of thing, and everyone can feel at ease if they are prepared in advance.

This night, the brothers Xie Jinzhi and Xie Xianzhi also went to ask His Royal Highness King Yan to say goodbye, and by the way, they mentioned this small incident that happened at their own home. Although King Yan didn't say anything, he expressed an attitude of appeasing the Song family's mother and daughter, which was already a statement. If he can get protection, Xie Meijun's mother and son will naturally have a smoother life in Beiping.

Song also mentioned to Xie Mulin in private: "When I left my hometown, I really never expected such a change. At that time, I was just thinking about taking your aunt and cousin out of Huyin and avoiding the bad things about the Yang family. I didn't expect that we would learn from Master Jiao in Beijing that the Lin family's henchmen were about to be purged, and every time Master Yang wrote a letter in the first two years, he didn't mention that he had been given the weight of the striker, and his future was different from the past. In the past, we didn't take his ostentatious words to heart, but now we have to sweat secretly. Fortunately, he was not confused, he knew the seriousness of the matter, and as soon as he heard that the Lin family might not be able to protect himself, he agreed to break off his relatives. Although he agreed with the idea of preserving a trace of blood for the Yang family, as long as the result meets our family's expectations, everything else is secondary. ”

Xie Mulin said: "I've been in Beijing for so long, and I don't know that my grandmother and aunt are worried about this matter, I really shouldn't be." If I had known this, I could have helped to inquire about some news! ”

Song smiled and shook his head: "Silly boy, this is a matter between your aunt and uncle, I just worry about them, what does it have to do with your child?" The results are good now, so that's why I'm telling you, not just worrying about you. ”

Xie Mulin asked her, "Does grandmother plan to let my aunt settle in Beiping with Cousin Yang and Cousin Yang?" His Royal Highness King Yan has the heart to protect him, and his father is operating from it, so he thinks that Cousin Yang and Cousin Yang will not be affected by the Yang family. ”

Song said lightly: "It's not that step yet, let's see what the ending of the Yang family will be." If Yang Weisi is really as he said, just going with the flow, getting some benefits, and never doing evil, then at most he will lose his official position and return to his hometown to live idlely, so as not to drag down the family. Then we'll save a lot of trouble. After all, the Yang family is also a Huyin Wang clan, so it is better to keep it. ”

Xie Mulin was puzzled: "Does grandmother still plan to protect him through her own connections?" If he had done great evil, wouldn't it be too cheap for him? ”

Song smiled: "Where does Yang Weisi have that guts?" He is a cowardly and greedy character, but he does not dare to take a little risk, otherwise he would not have been in office in Yangzhou for many years. He can't do anything angry, but he may know a lot of the inside story - let's see if he can make up his mind. Anyway, if you can protect yourself, I've already hinted at him. ”

Hinted at him?

Xie Mulin couldn't help but start to guess, what method did the Song family hint at Master Yang? Could it be ...... Is it to encourage him to be a tainted witness and denounce his boss Yangzhou Governor? It is very likely that he will keep his official position, and even hope to be promoted...... But can he make up his mind? The Lin family has not completely collapsed, and the second prince behind the Lin family is still safe and sound, isn't he afraid that he will attract hatred?

What Master Yang will do, the Xie family still doesn't know anything for the time being. In the early morning of the next day, they followed the fleet of Yan Wangfu again and embarked on the waterway to the north. When the fleet passed through Huai'an, it stayed for a short time at noon to give the ships time to replenish and procure, and then set off for the north again in the afternoon.

The rest of the itinerary is like this, basically every day can ensure that in the case of headwinds, catch up with the distance of one or two hundred miles, in case of strong wind and rain weather, will also stop in the port to shelter from the wind, but as long as the weather is good, will set off early, embark on a day's boat, until it is almost dark will find a place to anchor. They also don't want to always stop at a big port, but they never rest in the wilderness and get supplies almost every day. The fleet is extremely efficient, but a little unbearable.

Mrs. Xie began to shout that she was unwell from the third day, and from the fourth day, Xie Hanzhi also began to get seasick. Xie Mulin had no choice but to take out the anti-fainting pill he got from Old Man Du when he left Huyin and feed them to take it. Xie Hanzhi felt a little better, and his body, which had been slightly healthier by exercising at home in the past two years, could barely support it. Old Mrs. Xie still shouted uncomfortable every day, but Xie Mulin told her that if she didn't want to follow the boat of Yanwangfu and go ashore to find a place to rest for a few days, she wouldn't want to reach Beiping this winter, so she would bite to death and dare not mention getting off the boat again.

It's just that seeing Mrs. Xie feel uncomfortable every day, Xie Mulin is also very annoyed. Within two days, Xie Yinghui's side also began to react. Xie Yingrong still locked herself in the room and didn't come out, but according to her girl, she didn't feel dizzy and nauseated, had a headache and brain fever, and couldn't eat well and sleep well.

Xie Mulin had no choice but to start thinking about getting some plum preserves for motion sickness or something to see if it worked for them.

She had just come up with this idea, and the ancient lady took advantage of the night to find their boat and sent a bag of candied fruit.
