Zhu Youning straightened out the messed bangs, as if except for the first meeting, Yan Sui only called her Miss Zhu later, and treated her in an equal way, not treating her as a child, so she was suddenly touched like a child, Zhu Youning was very surprised and helpless.

Who made her a dwarf winter melon now?

"How can you tell he's an official?"

"Seeing that he has an outstanding temperament and several masters around him for personal protection, this person is not an ordinary person, he must not be a businessman, then he is a very noble person, but even if a real noble person is dressed in a low-key manner, he will not wear it so simply."

Zhu Youning nodded. In fact, she vaguely felt so, but for a while she was not as meticulous as Yan Sui thought. It can be seen that Yan Sui has the ability to observe the details.

The two felt that the wind was a little cold, so they went back to the cabin.

Who knew that after a while, there were people coming back and forth outside: "Childe, Miss, the passenger ship in front of me came to ask to see, saying that their master wanted to invite you two to the ship." ”

Yan Sui and Zhu Youning had just put on the chessboard, and they looked at the door in unison when they heard the words.

Zhu Youning asked, "See you?" ”

"Nature is going to see."

Yan Sui got up and was about to go out, but Steward Yan came in first and said, "Childe, Hongxi is back." ”

Yan Sui turned around and asked Zhu Youning: "What did my people inquire about first?" ”

Zhu Youning nodded obediently.

Yan Sui ordered Hongxi to come in.

Hong Xisheng's appearance is ordinary, he belongs to the type that can't be distinguished when standing in the crowd, he came to the door and saluted, and said with a smile: "Childe, the little one went to find out." This dock has been closed for two days, and Linshan County claims that there is a river and ocean thief in the county and is blocking and hunting down. The little one felt strange, so he tried his best to inquire in many ways, and then he finally came out with a message that the reason why this dock was blocked was because of the ship in front. ”

"Oh? What's going on? ”

Hongxi said: "The people on the boat in front are not ordinary, it is said that they are the Qin messenger sent by the saint, and the Fang patrol who is known as the 'Iron Pimple'. Fang Xun is upright and upright, and he is famous for his selflessness, and Linshan County didn't understand his own affairs, so he heard that Fang Xun was coming, so he immediately blocked the dock. I also wanted to take advantage of this time to take advantage of this time to take care of some things before I dared to invite Fang Xun to enter the county. ”

"You guessed it right, it's really an official." Zhu Youning couldn't help smacking his tongue, "But why do you still bring this?" Fang Xun pressed the Holy Minister's Qin Mission, and the local officials dared to use a broken rope to stop people outside for two days? ”

Yan Sui was amused by her cute little appearance.

"You may not know that this iron pimple is a well-known officialdom who does not eat oil and salt, and he is very dead-eyed, and that nickname is given by his colleagues. However, the common people like to call him 'Fang Qingtian'. It is precisely because he will never engage in favoritism, is honest and honest, and has a good character, that he can win the trust of the saints and the approval of the people. He has a lot of time to do things according to orders, but he doesn't like to play cards according to common sense, and he will carry out surprise attacks at every turn, and those places that are a little greasy will naturally have to find a way to stop him. I guess this is not the first time this has happened, and this person is used to it. ”

Zhu Youning couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

But after thinking about it, he said: "It seems that this Fang Patrol is very likely to have seen the banner of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce on our ship, so he wanted to ask us to understand the situation." After all, the news that the merchants gathered in Hangzhou to do something big spread in the capital. ”

Yan Sui raised her slender eyebrows, "It doesn't matter, it's a good thing to be lucky enough to meet this Fang Qingtian." ”

"Yes, if he really has such good character, then at least he doesn't have to worry about any danger."

Zhu Youning and Yan Sui agreed, and when they arrived on the deck, they saw the people who came to invite.

This tall and sturdy middle-aged man was one of the guards who were protecting Fang Jinrui's safety on the deck just now, and when he saw Yan Sui and Zhu Youning coming out, this person saluted and explained his intentions.

Yan Sui saw that he didn't mention Fang Jinrui's identity in his words, so he didn't say anything, and only said with a smile: "It's our honor to be invited by Mr. ”

"Then I'll ask Childe and Miss to cross the boat."

"Please."

The two parties humbly walked to the side of the boat, and at this time, Steward Yan had already ordered someone to put down another small boat.

Feilong Tang first jumped onto the boat along the rope ladder, and then took Zhu Youning down. Steward Yan got on the boat that Hongxi used just now and escorted Yan Sui up, and the two small boats followed the guard's boat and sailed towards Fang Jinrui's big boat.

As soon as they stood still after boarding the ship, they saw Fang Jinrui standing on the deck with a smile, obviously coming to greet them.

Zhu Youning and Yan Sui both smiled and saluted, "This gentleman, thank you for your kindness, I am very grateful." ”

"Meeting is fate, and it is really abrupt to invite each other, and I hope the two little friends don't mind. The family has prepared refreshments, please come into the cabin. Fang Jinrui invited with a smile.

"I'm sorry."

The two sides were polite, and Zhu Youning followed Yan Sui and Fang Jinrui into the cabin together.

The furnishings in the cabins are very simple, and apparently not deliberately arranged. It doesn't look like the boat that the Chincha Patrol will ride at all.

Observing the dress and temperament of him and the people around him, it seems that Fang Xun's incorruptibility is not in vain.

Fang Jinrui treated Zhu Youning with contempt because of her young age. seemed to know that she was also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, so she politely invited Yan Sui and Zhu Youning to sit down.

After the refreshments were served, the three of them chatted, and Fang Jinrui asked about the customs and people's livelihood here.

Although Fang Jinrui has such a nickname, he is very close to the people and easy-going, and he is a person who is very good at chatting, and he is very able to mobilize and control people's emotions, and both parties are interested in getting close, but after a while, they became acquainted.

Fang Jinrui then asked about the Chamber of Commerce's unsealing of the mountains and forests.

Yan Sui said with a smile: "The old gentleman doesn't know, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is indeed looking for a way to do it." Linshan County is a gathering place for goods concentrated in the south, but because of geographical reasons, if the goods are transported by waterway from the wharf of Linshan County to the north, it will take three more days to get to the main road, so the general goods are transported directly from Linshan County, and the road is directly transported to Fuyang County, which is separated by a mountain, and the transportation is much more convenient from the wharf of Fuyang County, such as the goods transported to Hangzhou, only one day.

"But since that incident, the mountain has been blocked by order from above, and the road has been blocked. This really brings too much inconvenience to the transportation. Although the merchants are lowly, the ordinary people also have to live, and many people are counting on this to support their families. That's why the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce came up with the idea of unsealing the mountain. ”

Fang Jinrui nodded and said understandingly: "This is human nature. ”

Seeing that he didn't mention the rumors in the capital, nor did he reveal his identity, Yan Sui and Zhu Youning tacitly agreed not to ask.

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Yan Sui and Zhu Youning planned to leave.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the dock.

When they went to the porthole and looked out, they saw that many officials had arrived at the edge of the dock and were untying the ropes used for interception.
