Chapter 750: No Wind and No Waves
On the vast blue ocean, the sea ships float like duckweed in the hot sun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Baidu search
The sails were blown up in the wind, and a captain of the naval division rushed to the cabin on the right, which had always been Shen Ao's 'study', and the captain called softly outside, and Shen Ao's voice came from inside: "Come in." The search for the latest update came to the captain and pushed the door in, and said, "Your Highness, you have already arrived in the sea area of the Xinghua Army, and you will be able to arrive in Quanzhou early tomorrow morning." ”
Shen Ao smiled faintly, sat behind the desk in the cabin, held a copy of the express newspaper in his hand, and said, "Got it." ”
The lieutenant cautiously retreated.
This cabin is lit with oil lamps, trembling slightly, and even the glass lampshade can't help but flicker, making people dizzy, but the result is that it is on the ship, and it is not so much exquisite, Shen Ao looked at the express in his hand again, and his knuckles unconsciously tapped the desk like Zhao Ji.
Over there in Quanzhou, measures have been taken for the big food merchants, but Wu Cai advocated without authorization, screened the big cannibals, drove away those who should be driven away, and those who were willing to stay stayed, but Shen Ao did not blame Wu Cai, he was really a hundred secrets, and he just wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but he forgot about this stubble, and he also lost Wu Cai's own opinion, otherwise I am afraid that I will regret my actions Meng Lang, this word is provided by the post bar, only for learning and exchange, please do not use it for commercial purposes.
Shen Ao couldn't help but smile, and he couldn't wait to fly to Quanzhou immediately.
What does Quanzhou look like now?
Compared with the early morning of the second day, when Shen Ao landed on the shore, the dawn had not yet appeared, the gray sky was full of haze, Shen Ao went on the trestle bridge, as far as his eyes could see, he really couldn't penetrate this heavy fog, although April in Quanzhou was hot, but it was very cold in the early morning, so when Zhao Zixing got off the boat, he couldn't help but curl up his hand and put his hand on the mouth of the cherry blossom and spit white mist.
Shen Ao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he didn't care about the greetings from the people who came to greet her, so he got into the carriage directly and went to Haizheng Yamen.
"Your Highness, the envoys of the vassal kings of various countries have arrived, and there is still a half-moon kung fu international exhibition to be held, do you want to meet the envoys of the vassal kingdoms one by one?"
Those who can sit in this hall are the most core figures in Quanzhou, Wu Cai, the governor of the maritime administration, Yang Guo, the commander of the navy, Ma Yinglong, the prefect of Quanzhou, etc., these people saw Shen Aolai, as if they had seen the backbone of the main body.
The person who spoke was Wu Cai, Shen Ao glanced at him, took a sip of Wuyi tea, and said with a smile: "This is not necessary, this king has no time to see them, this trip to the exhibition of all countries, one is to show virtue, let them know the abundance of my Great Song Dynasty, and the other is to show their authority, the countries of the South Seas will inevitably have snakes and rats at both ends, one side to please my Great Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, I am afraid of being blamed for the big food, and now we want the governors of various countries to ban trade with the big cannibals, will the countries be willing?" Since this is the case, then let them know how powerful my Da Song is, and tell them that obedient children have milk to eat, and if they are disobedient, give a little color. ”
Shen Ao's words still mean something, so that Yang Guo's mood stirred, the Nanyang sailors practiced day and night, but they never moved their muscles and bones, and occasionally suppressed the pirates with the intention that the size of a fly was a piece of meat, and now listening to the meaning of King Pingxi, it seemed that he was going to make a big move, so he said excitedly: "Your Highness gave an order, and the Nanyang sailors happily obeyed." ”
Xinran's two words made Shen Ao drink the tea in his mouth and almost didn't squirt out, he had to smile bitterly: "It's just talking, as long as you are willing to be obedient, why do you need to make a big move?" Yang Guo, you sit down, don't look at people all day long, it's not good to develop this habit. ”
Yang Guo sat down and said, "But there have been some rumors in Quanzhou recently, I wonder if Your Highness has heard of it?" ”
Shen Ao snorted, cocked Erlang's legs, and said, "Don't sell Guanzi." ”
Yang said: "It is said that there are many remnants of the Tianyi Sect lurking in Quanzhou, and they are recruiting people on a large scale, saying that they want to assassinate the vassal kings and envoys of various countries, this news has come out recently, and the humility is being tested, but for the sake of caution, is it not from the sailor to mobilize several battalions of military horses to care for the envoys of the vassal king at any time?" ”
Ma Yinglong said: "The lower officials have also heard about this matter, and this kind of thing can only be believed in rather than believed." In fact, last night, there were errand servants who did arrest a few suspicious people, and after careful interrogation, they found out that they were indeed from the Tianyi Sect, but I heard that they were asked to prepare weapons and be on call at any time, as for who was planning behind the scenes, how many people there were in the Tianyi Sect, it is unknown. ”
Shen Ao couldn't help frowning, at this time, presenting the Tianyi Sect is indeed a matter worth paying attention to, in the end, the Tianyi Sect was a chaotic party and a thief, and now they have found their traces, and they are still in Quanzhou, where the storm is about to meet, it must not be underestimated, once a vassal envoy dies in Quanzhou, it is a very serious matter, and this exhibition of all countries immediately makes the Great Song Dynasty a laughing stock of Nanyang countries.
Shen Ao's tone was cold, and he said: "A few battalions are not enough, and a few more battalions of sailors will be transferred into the city, whether it is the new city and the old city, they will dig three feet of ground for this king, according to the map, the safety of the envoys of the vassal king must also be guaranteed, this is the top priority." ”
Yang Guo responded.
Shen Ao saw that the atmosphere in this hall was heavy, so he laughed: "There is no need to keep a straight face, it's just a little mosquito, it can't be a big deal, flies only stare at seamless eggs, as long as we are airtight, naturally there is no need to be afraid." He shook his leg and continued: "Speaking of which, this king wants to see the scenery of Quanzhou, but unfortunately the fog is too heavy when he goes ashore. ”
Ma Yinglong immediately said: "When the prince wants to take a walk, just inform the lower officials." ”
Ma Yinglong has now become Shen Ao's wings in a daze, and it is strange to say that this Ma Yinglong is not a person who sees the light from all sides, but at this time, he is desperate for Shen Ao.
Shen Ao smiled, stood up, and said, "But at this time, the Tianyi Sect is really a little suspicious, what are they doing assassinating the vassal king?" Just teach the world to see the king's jokes? ”
Wu Cai said: "Could it be that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but the real purpose is His Highness?" ”
Shen Ao paced slowly in the hall, while expounding his muscles and bones, he said: "Shouldn't it, this king has a lot of guards around him, and with these clowns who jump off the beam, they dare to get rid of this king?" Don't think about it, let's go back to take care of official business, this king is tired of boats, and I want to take a rest, but ...... Lord Wu, you go and say hello to those envoys of the vassal kings, let them go up immediately, and invite me to ......come to Quanzhou by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty," Shen Ao said Zhao Ji's idea in detail while admonishing, and finally said: "Your Majesty wants to come out for a walk, it is not a fatal thing, it is good to come." ”
When the three of them were sent away, a captain immediately quietly appeared in front of Shen Ao and said in a low voice, "Someone from the Jinyi Guard wants to see His Highness." ”
Shen Ao sat on the chair, was silent for a moment, and said, "Call him in." ”
After a while, a businessman-like man quickly stepped into the hall, bowed deeply to Shen Ao, and said, "Your Highness." ”
Shen Ao glanced at this person, this person's appearance was very ordinary, he looked like a businessman, he always had a signboard smile on his face, and he had the air of a stock marketer. Shen Ao bowed his head to him and said slowly, "When did you guys come?" ”
Come to the human: "Half a month ago, according to Mr. Chen's advice, has been placed in all walks of life, I heard that His Royal Highness has arrived in Quanzhou, so I came to say hello first, if His Royal Highness has a useful place, you can let people contact the villain." ”
Shen Ao thought to himself, how could this be like a spy joint, and couldn't help but say: "This king happened to have something to ask you, Quanzhou presents a group of remnants of the Tianyi Sect, have you spied on the news?" ”
After these brocade guards trained from Guojiazhuang arrived in Quanzhou, they were immediately placed everywhere, and it can be said that there are many informants, and it is much easier for them to inquire about the news than on the official side. The man immediately said: "I've heard about it a long time ago, and the villain has been focusing on investigating this matter, but it's ......"
Shen Ao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
After listening to Shen Ao's encouragement, this brocade guard kept talking: "But I always feel that things are a little strange, the number of people in the Yiyi Sect these days should not be much, judging from the summary of news from all sides, there are only three hundred people at most, and these people seem to be actually not strict, and even deliberately want to release the news of the assassination." In order to spy on more information, the villain deliberately installed a few people to keep an eye on a leader, who usually didn't do anything, just wandered around the streets, but was more like a splasher. ”
Shen Ao frowned, and when he heard him say this, he also felt that something was not right. He turned out to be an ancestor who played conspiracy, and thought to himself, "Could it be that these people are not actually the real Tianyi Sect?" Just acting under the banner of Tianyi Sect? This is strange, since it is not a chaotic party, what is the reason for the sudden release of the news of the assassination of the vassal king? He continued to think: "If the news is released, then the whole city of Quanzhou must be nervous, and the strength of the city is naturally mainly matched in the guard, is there someone who wants to attack the west?" ”
Shen Ao said: "Only these news? ”
"There are only so many, but His Highness wants to know more, the villain will step up spying, this word is provided by the post bar, only for learning and communication, please do not use it for commercial purposes."
Shen Ao bowed his head and said, "For the time being, put down all the other things, concentrate on spying on this news, see who is in contact with this gang of thieves, and pay attention to some suspicious people and things in Quanzhou City." ”
Jin Yiwei wandered for a while, and said: "But there is a very strange thing, in Quanzhou, there is a very mysterious one called Xingyue Commercial Bank, this commercial house is not small, but it is very strange, as if it has never dealt with people, and the people hired are Yue people, the face of the commercial house is in Yongle Fang, the villain originally thought that such a big commercial house can be placed in a person, but who knows, they don't recruit people at all." ”
Shen Ao said: "There is such a strange thing? This matter is also to be watched, to be careful, to see if there is any connection between Tianyi Sect and this Xingyue Commercial Bank, and report it immediately if there is news. ”
"Yes."
