Cheng Ziyu felt that the gaze behind him was hot.

She stood at the bow of the boat with her head held high, smiling and waving at Mrs. Lin, who was already waiting for her on the shore. Only Liu Er, who was supporting her, knew that her hands were cold and her legs were a little soft.

Hearing her say that the danger is not the end, but the beginning, Xia Wei Xia Liu suddenly turned her head.

"Don't look back, don't show doubts, hold your head up, and pretend to be confident!" Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath.

"What's wrong with the girl? Wan Mingyang definitely didn't dare to do anything, didn't Xiao Wu also promise to let us go? ……”

"Fool, he's not a little five!" Cheng Ziyu sighed faintly. "Why do you think they let us go? Because we're still in their game! ”

……

As they became more and more westward, seeing Cheng Ziyu and his party leisurely and gradually moving away, Wan Mingyang and "Little Wu" returned to the cabin.

The subordinate retreated and closed the door.

With a "snap", "Xiao Wu" turned around and waved his hand, and slapped Wan Mingyang. This slap is strong.

Wan Mingyang just hung his head and fell, without complaint, willingly, without the slightest resistance.

"Fool, aren't you infallible? It was better to say than to sing, but the mutton was not eaten, but it caused a commotion. "Little Five" snorted, revealing hideousness.

"You have done such a thing, and some of the anger and consequences deserve to be borne by your family. Do you have any complaints? ”

"Waner is willing to accept the punishment." Wan Mingyang bowed respectfully.

"Xiao Wu" didn't look at him either, only turned around and looked out the window, where Cheng Ziyu was going ashore.

"Cheng Ziyu is very observant and delicate, she sees you as the mastermind of this incident, in this way, you are completely targeted, you should be careful recently. Don't show your face if you're fine. And Wan Jia's recent caution is not to be caught with any pigtails. Fortunately, Li Chun and the others will leave in two days, so there shouldn't be much trouble. ”

"I'm going to make an appointment with Li Chun and Cheng Ziyu in the next two days, and I'll try my best to calm down this matter."

"Hmm."

Xiao Wu glanced at him, his method was nothing more than relying on silver. In this world, there is hardly much money that can't do. "They have no evidence, this matter is a matter of face, and Li Chun will not make a noise, it is not too bad after all."

"Yes, the master is clever, no matter what, our goal has been achieved. You weren't exposed. ”

"Well, no matter how smart Cheng Ziyu is, she is also a woman, her knowledge is limited, she is complacent when she touches a little doorway, and she can't see the long-term, so we are lucky."

"Little girl, it's not enough to be afraid to see her triumphant. Listening to the meaning of what she just said, she really was fooled, she really thought that your surname was Xu! Compared with her grandfather, the number of paragraphs is too far away, and her dream has come true, and she should be happy! "Wan Er at this moment is like a dog.

The "Little Five" face is finally loose. He removed the beard that was sticky to his face and wiped his eyebrows with a wet hand towel......

"Still not rolling?"

"Isn't it still ......?"

"You go and clean up the mess you left behind, and I'll find someone else to do the rest!"

"Yes......" Wan Mingyang opened his mouth and didn't dare to say more, bent down and retreated, and straightened up when he went out. He let out a long sigh, this time he had hit the rocks. Did he underestimate Cheng Ziyu......

As soon as Cheng Ziyu came ashore, Mrs. Lin greeted her and put a cloak on her.

"Ziyu, how is it, are you okay? They didn't bully you, did they? What about the second master? ”

"Madame, I'll tell you later. At this moment, you should arrange for someone to prepare the horse, and choose the one with the fastest legs, the most durable and not easily frightened. ”

As soon as they heard this, the two maids had a bad premonition. Could it be that the danger that Cheng Ziyu said was chasing and killing?

"Liu'er, you beckon the secret guard to come out!"

"At this moment?"

The group of them had already moved away from the ship, so it was really good to look for the secret guard so openly?

"Listen to me!" Cheng Ziyu closed her eyes: "For deterrence." ”

Liu Er understood.

Thinking of the words that Cheng Ziyu had exaggerated when she warned Wan Mingyang on the boat before, she probably understood. The other party should still have a back hand, although they are let go for the time being, there must be someone secretly staring. This is a warning to the other party.

Liu Er whistled a loud and long whistle into the air.

After a few breaths, a figure flickered, and in front of them was a man wearing a wide-brimmed felt hat and a black suit.

It's popular.

"Lightning! Tell the brothers that the county lord is out of trouble. Prepare to escort the county lord back with all your might! ”

His name became an inexplicable "lightning", and Feng Xing suddenly realized that there was a situation. And today only he and the wind shadow secretly escorted the county lord to Ningbo, not long ago the wind shadow went to find reinforcements, and he was left to guard the shore by himself, where did the brothers come from?

"Yes!" He disappeared in an instant, surprised Mrs. Lin and the others......

Cheng Ziyu grabbed Mrs. Lin.

"Do you have a guard with strong martial arts?"

"Yes! When you run the rivers and lakes to do business, you will raise some people. ”

"Let's go back, those who know martial arts, all with us!"

"Okay, listen to you." Mrs. Lin patted Cheng Ziyu's hand, "Why are your hands still so cold." Don't worry, it's all good. It's all gone. ”

Mrs. Lin thought that Cheng Ziyu was frightened before she panicked. In fact, even if Cheng Ziyu didn't say it, she had planned to bring more people with her.

Looking at Cheng Ziyu's chapped lips with blood marks, Mrs. Lin was even more distressed.

"Ziyu, don't be afraid. If they dare to do it again, I will protect you even if I do my best. It's all my fault this time, it's me who is not good......"

"I'm fine, don't worry. Madam, I don't blame you for this, I blame myself for being careless. I want to leave as soon as possible, and I want to return to Jiaxing as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, don't worry, I've already arranged it, let's still use Huma, good endurance. The carriage was also put on, and a few more horses were brought with it, and the cart was changed on the way. ”

Half an hour later, they were on their way home.

Mrs. Lin didn't know that there was still danger, but for the sake of Cheng Ziyu's heart, she brought all the people around her who could be called and had martial arts with her. In this way, the group was mighty, and there were twenty or thirty people.

Liu Er whispered to Cheng Ziyu before getting into the car.

"Girl, our secret guard, for the time being, should only be able to use Fengxing. In the past, after the slave and maid released the code, they were all contacted by the wind shadow. The Wind Shadow didn't appear just now, probably not there. It should have been back to report the news, after all, he is fast and good at spying. The slave was afraid that someone would be watching, so she didn't dare to come out and ask questions. ”

"Take the avenue, the official road!" As soon as Cheng Ziyu got in the car, he ordered to go down. I don't know what the level of Mrs. Lin's manpower is, and how many masters there are, but she can be sure that the other party will not do it in a short time, and it will not do it in a crowded place.

Only Mrs. Lin, Cheng Ziyu and Liu Er sat in the carriage. Xia Wei chose to sit at the window near Cheng Ziyu on horseback, not only to hear everything in the car, but also to prevent sneak attacks and look around.

Their carriage was the same one they had come, and it was full of supplies, but they didn't need to prepare anything, not even a water stove and a charcoal stove for heating.

Cheng Ziyu didn't drink water for a long time and sweated a lot, and she was already very thirsty.

But even so, she only drank one cup and waved her hand, she was afraid that she would have to relieve herself on the way after drinking too much.

Coming out of the docks, they chose the road in the city. It's noisy and lively, not afraid of being attacked, and just talking.

Cheng Ziyu briefly told Mrs. Lin about the incident.

Mrs. Lin was shocked, she was really fooled. She didn't expect that she, who had always prided herself on being shrewd, would be deceived by Wan Mingyang.

"Thanks to you for seeing. Otherwise, wouldn't my oolong make people laugh and lose their big teeth? Borrow my hand to pick my skin? I want to thank him a thousand times when I look back, he is so beautiful! He is falling out of the day, and I still have to die of regret and regret? It's really hateful!

Mrs. Lin snorted.

"When I'm a bully in the Lin family? He is the richest man in Jiangnan, and I am no worse than him! The Lin family considers themselves the second in Shudi, and absolutely no one dares to call them the boss. The court respects me for two points, and he dares to plot against me like this, this revenge must not be resolved. Ziyu, don't worry, yours and mine, I'll avenge this double revenge! When I go back, the first thing I have to do is to make it impossible for him to do any business near Bashu.

Moreover, he is engaged in overseas trading, and silk ranks first among the four major items that foreigners want. I don't care about anything else, but in terms of silk, my Lin family is also an authority in the industry. The Lin family came forward, and I will cut off his road on silk from now on. Whoever dares to supply him, I will cut off his way! Even if it costs money to cut it off! ……”

Cheng Ziyu went to pull Mrs. Lin, "That's too draining, and it's too expensive to have connections and money." Madam, let's leave him alone, don't worry, as long as you can get out smoothly today, I will let him taste the consequences. ”

"Oh?"

"Trust me!"

Cheng Ziyu looked sure, and Mrs. Lin could only say: "Cheng, if there is anything you need help with, just ask, I'll do it!" I will give the money! ”

Liu Er pulled Cheng Ziyu's sleeve.

"Girl, tell us quickly, you just said that Xiao Wu is not Xiao Wu, so who is he?"

"I only know that he is not Xiao Wu, nor is he surnamed Xu. But who he is, I don't know. ”

She gasped.

"I also know that he is the leader of today's events, and Wan Mingyang is just a minion who helps him do things." ……

Cheng Ziyu had doubts about Xiao Wusheng from the moment he was controlled.

From beginning to end, "Little Five" only reported his name but did not tell his identity once. But his dress and bearing proved that he was superior to the others on the ship. At the beginning, Cheng Ziyu only attributed him to "stewardship".

But she soon found that although "Little Five" was polite and polite, he did not formally salute her once, but only gave his hand rudely. When he spoke and called himself, he never called himself "slave", "small" and the like, and called himself "Little Five" every time. Later, after she finally attracted Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu sat down after saying a few words naturally......

None of this is like a minion's move.

Little Five? What's the name? Even if everyone really calls him that, but in the face of a woman like her, who is more than 20 years behind him, he should omit the word "small" and call himself "Old Five" and so on. Especially such a person who is not even willing to do a good job of etiquette, and obviously has his own pride.

Later, Cheng Ziyu guessed that he may have deliberately made a low profile to instill and induce her the information that "his status is not too high, but he is just in charge of the ship......

And as soon as Cheng Ziyu got on the boat, he began to look for their master.

But those servants didn't answer her well, and even she asked the master if he hadn't come yet, or had he left, but the servant replied that she was "not there"?

Sidestep the question.

In the end, these people are just flashing words.

Later, during the negotiation, Xiao Wu actually said that the master did not come, and he was in charge.

Cheng Ziyu didn't believe it, the other party kidnapped her, and wanted to pinch Li Chun, but she didn't get on the boat from beginning to end? In fact, this suspicion not only proves that Xiao Wu is lying, but also proves that they really never thought of targeting Li Chun......

And Xiao Wu actually has so much power to give orders from beginning to end? Or negotiate on behalf of the master?

Cheng Ziyu was even more suspicious of Xiao Wu's identity. She suspected that Xiao Wu's identity was very high. She suspected that Xiao Wu was the "master".

Of course, in fact, she had already begun to doubt before that.

The first time she used those rare treasures to attract Xiao Wu, she had been observing Xiao Wu.

Looking at the protection of those maids for the babies, she thought that Xiao Wu was also worried that those babies would be destroyed by her, so she appeared quickly......

But after Xiao Wu arrived, he only glanced at the scene roughly, and then stopped his eyes on her.

Even the Duobao Pavilion, which was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, failed to win much attention from him.

And when Cheng Ziyu gave up Duobao Pavilion and came back from the window, he had neither a happy expression nor a relieved look, he was busy asking Cheng Ziyu to sit down and talk, he didn't even look at Duobao Pavilion.

You know, Xia Wei and the two of them are still carrying a bottle in their hands! Isn't he worried at all about whether those treasures are missing or destroyed?

If he is a slave and is in charge, how can he not take the treasure of his master in his eyes? In case of loss, isn't he, the steward, responsible?

He should have been as frightened as his servants, and immediately ordered his servants to check the damage......

If Cheng Ziyu hadn't doubted Wan Mingyang, it would have been fine. But Wan Mingyang made her suspicious early.

Soon after Wan Mingyang got on the boat, he told her that the ship belonged to the Xu family, and described the terrible situation of the Xu family and Xiao Wu, indicating that if she wanted to get out, she had to negotiate with the Xu family quickly......

So how could she still believe what Wan Mingyang said? She suddenly suspected that the owner of the ship was not the Xu family, and the "little five" just now was not the little five in charge of the Xu family.

So, if so, why did they do that?

She understood.

Only this motivation is sufficient.

"Since their purpose is not Li Chun, what kind of greed can the Cheng family and I satisfy them? The pottery of the objects was only for the convenience of sea navigation, and did not play a decisive role, and it was worth them to do such a thing?

Wan Mingyang is not short of silver, and the Xu family is obviously not short of silver, 80,000 taels of silver is worth their risk? Although our favor is very valuable, I still don't believe that it is enough to tempt their greed. I thought at the time that maybe they had other purposes.

How could they be so bold to detain the current county lord? Are they really not afraid of being held accountable? No way! So they must have thought of a way to get out of the way when they were planning. If they weren't the Xu family, then everything would suddenly be clear. First of all, this Xu family is the object of their dumping! ”
