Xie Mulin was a little confused. She had limited information, and she had already racked her brains to infer it to this extent, and she really didn't want to bother anymore. Since Xiao Rui seemed to be quite willing to tell her the truth, it was better to simply ask him.

So she asked: "What does Xiao Ergongzi mean is that there is a certain adult in Huzhou who colluded with a certain force in the capital to get a fleet to escort official grain to Beijing through the canal, and is about to pass through Huyin County and go to Pingwang Town, isn't it?" Is the wasteland in Qianwan Village a temporary place chosen by the homeless people who plan to rob? They intend to ...... here No, you are planning to attack the grain ship in the section of the river near Pingwang Town in front of you? If that is the case, why are you holding back our boat? Now that the grain ship has not yet arrived, and the displaced people are nowhere to be seen, it is a good time for us to take refuge! ”

Xiao Rui saw her say bluntly, so he simply stopped beating around the bush: "It's not that simple. This river is very busy on weekdays, even at night, and there are often boats coming and going, and the people in the nearby villages and market towns are accustomed to taking the waterway. Once the displaced people hijack the official boat, there are too many civilian ships present, and it is easy to have accidents. Therefore, someone prepared in advance. Miss Xie, if you insist on traveling, I'm afraid that you won't be able to meet a few boats on the road. When you encounter danger, you are afraid that it will be difficult to find even a helping hand. ”

"You seem pretty sure I'm going to be in danger." Xie Mulin thought thoughtfully, "But why? I have only heard of the homeless people robbing the grain ships of the officials, and I have not heard of other merchant ships and civilian ships suffering at the same time. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "The people who let them rob didn't ask them to rob other ships, so naturally there would be no such rumors." ”

Xie Mulin blinked: "What do you mean...... If those who let them rob have been told to rob other ships, then other ships will not be spared? Has anyone been eyeing our Xie family's ship? ”

Xiao Rui asked her, "Can you guess whose family is the one who let the homeless people hijack the ship this time?" ”

Xie Mulin could probably guess a little. The Cao family's side just took revenge on the Lin family, and pulled the new Hangzhou general from his horse again, and if the Lin family wants to retaliate back, it is natural to pit the Cao family's henchmen again, otherwise how can they target Pingwang Town? Therefore, in this case of the shipwhacking case of the homeless people, the main messenger should be someone from the Lin family's side.

At this time, Ma Luyao had already retreated five steps away, and Xie Mulin also walked down the dock and talked to Xiao Rui face-to-face, so Xiao Rui had a lot less taboos, and after listening to Xie Mulin's conjecture, he whispered to her: "After the former Hangzhou general Huang entered Beijing, although he entered the prison of Dali Temple, the chief official of Dali Temple acted rigorously, and did not intend to convict him of a felony by taking advantage of the robbery of the exiles, but found out his past dereliction of duty and corruption crimes. The Lin family probably felt that the weight of such a case as the homeless people robbing the official food was not enough, so they wanted to increase the bargaining chips. I found out the news that those so-called homeless people, after robbing the official rations, were also ordered to rob one or two more large households, preferably large families of officials in the family, killing and injuring a few more people, so as not to worry about the anger of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China. Even if it can't make the Cao family break another arm, it will also cut off the future of the Huang family's father and son. ”

Xie Mulin took a cool breath: "So you're afraid that our family's boat will become the target of the homeless?" After all, our Xie family is not only a big family, but also a high-ranking official, and there is also Zhushan Academy. Originally, it was okay for us to stay at home, but once we traveled by boat, it was easy to bump into those people? But they haven't been dispatched at this time, have they? Xie Jiajiao is much safer than the old mansion. They shouldn't have the courage to run and attack Xie Jiajiao, right? ”

Xiao Rui curled the corners of his mouth: "Miss Xie, what do you want?" Since there are their accomplices on the river who are hindering the passage of other boats, will they really let you go if they meet you? It's still early, and you won't meet any outcasts when you go out, but ...... If you encounter a ship carrying official food, you may not be insured! ”

Xie Mulin almost choked: "You mean...... Is the grain ship also their accomplice? No way? Playing so big? When the homeless people robbed before, a lot of people died! ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Of course, it is impossible for the entire fleet to know, what if the news leaks?" Anyway, in the end, those who may be suspicious will die at the hands of the homeless, so what about making some arrangements in advance? And who's going to prove that the robbery was just a play? ”

Why did Scemulin think this sounded like a dream? She was skeptical, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask more carefully: "Although the people of the official ship are unreliable, it is impossible for them to openly rob us, so if they really intercept us, so if we are not in a group with them, we may be wiped out by the homeless people, and we will naturally not be able to escape?" In the end, they tell the world where the robbery took place. Closer to Pingwang Town, can you pull the thousands of households over there into the water? ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand: "Miss Xie, you don't have to drill the horns." Until then, no one knew that you would travel by boat. Ordinary people don't sail on a quiet river in the dark of night. But our brother did find out that the so-called wanderers had explored the nearby waterways first, and had been on the bank of the river in front of your old house for a while. If I am not mistaken, their plan should be that after robbing the official grain near Pingwang, when they returned to the barren beach, they 'coincidentally' passed by Xiejiawan, and saw that your family was a big family, so they robbed you, killed them, and robbed you of your property. As long as you can commit a bloody crime and arouse the righteous indignation of the Xie family, the old lady in the second room of your family will naturally find her old relatives and friends, just like when she saved your father, to avenge you and the old lady of your family! ”

Now the real power in Beijing knows that Xie Pu can escape the trapping of the Cao family, and the protégé of his mother's father's family has contributed the most. The father of the Song family turned out to be Mr. Jiu Meixi, the famous priest of the country in the past, that is the long history of today's saint when he was in the palace, from the dragon hero, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not pursue power, and is more enthusiastic about teaching students. Otherwise, the original Conglong heroes were all successful and famous, and they soared, why did Song Meixi stay in the Guozijian willingly? The emperor even lamented more than once that the Song sacrifice wine had a noble and indifferent temperament. Xie Pu has such an ancestor here, and he didn't show anything before! If he had known that he had such a relationship, when Wang Angui had just falsely accused him, countless Meixi protégés would have come to the rescue......

Anyway, all kinds of rumors about the energy behind the Song family and Xie Pu are circulating in the elite circles in Beijing. The Cao family's Chengenhou Mansion faction gritted their teeth and endured their evil anger for this, and put on a posture of reconciliation with Xie Pu, Queen Cao also ignored the Xie family, and even openly said that she disliked her sister Cao Shuqing, and sat back and watched Cao Shuqing's daughter Xie Yinghui have intimate contacts with the eldest princess of Yongning's family. All in all, the Lin family also clearly knows that there is still ability behind the Xie family.

Really want to let the homeless hurt the Xie family, or the granddaughter who is close to the Xie Song family, Xie Song was furious, and once again invited those connections of her deceased father, can Huang Qianhu, who neglected his duty and let go of the murderer, escape responsibility? If it is linked to the grievances of the Xie and Cao families, the Cao family will definitely be angry.

The people of the Lin family are very vicious, they plan to use the blood of the Xie family to deal a big blow to the Cao family.

As for whether the dead are wronged or not, how can they care?
