"Please."

Although he is a county magistrate, he is not incapable of letting people speak.

Moreover, it was his future son-in-law who made a great contribution to Yangzhou and the merchant ships that came and went, so he didn't even have to let people say a word and ask for it.

He thought that Ruan Chengyong wanted to take this opportunity to make a request, or to ask for some reward, but when Ruan Chengyong opened his mouth, he knew that he was wrong.

Ruan Chengyun said, "This matter is related to my family's Jiaojiao, and please be sure not to publicize it."

At that time, it was indeed the bandits who robbed the boat, and some bandits took advantage of the chaos to touch Jiaojiao's boat, and Jiaojiao was robbed and asked He Zong to ransom people with silver, but at that time, the third watch was on the river in the middle of the night, where could he go to raise so much silver, He Zong was also too worried about Jiaojiao's safety, so he had to take people to follow the bandits.

Later, they were also lucky to save Jiaojiao and get rid of the bandits.

The reason for this is related to the reputation of my family, and I implore adults to think about the reputation of my daughter's family, so don't mention about my family. ”

Ruan Chengyun didn't know if the government knew the details, but he didn't dare to gamble with his daughter's reputation.

There is another reason why he deliberately said this now, and it is also for the sake of He Zong.

In the past six months or so, He Zong has been in the limelight in Yangzhou, and he was afraid that He Zong would be suspicious of the government, so he deliberately said that He Zong took the risk of going for his daughter.

It is more reassuring that children are more affectionate than ambitious, anyway, the suppression of bandits has become a fact.

In fact, Lan Xian Ling didn't know these inside information at all, and he didn't have such big hands and eyes, but it was indeed as Ruan Chengyun thought, and when he learned that He Zong was doing it for the sake of his children, he was indeed a little less jealous of He Zong.

He didn't deny He Zong's strength, and he could guess that he had practiced it by acting on the water all year round, but his original intention of doing so was for a woman, so it was different.

"Hahaha...... There is a good son-in-law outside the staff, and Gongzi He has a big husband, congratulations to the outsider.

Rest assured, this matter has only been mentioned by me, and the official will not mention it to a third person.

It is indeed true that He Gongzi has done a great thing this time, and the official will post a notice and give He Gongzi a reward.

I heard that He Gongzi is not in Yangzhou, but it doesn't matter, the reward will be sent to He Gongzi's house. ”

Everyone thought that He Zong had gone to the barren forest he had bought before, including the people of the Ruan family.

Only Ruan Jiaojiao knew that he had gone to sea, and that they were about to do a big thing.

Since she came back, Ruan Jiaojiao has been idle for a few days, and then she has been coerced by one thing after another to keep moving forward.

Just went to Zhuangzi with Chen San to make a plan, she made a list of flower varieties to be planted, and Chen San's people bought them.

She stood there for a long time when she came back and passed by the dock, she didn't pay much attention to the dock before, even after knowing that He Zong was in the shipping business, she didn't think about it all.

Now suddenly standing here, a guess popped into her head.

I remember that Wei Yan once said about He Zong's murder, it was at the dock, and blood stained the surface of the ferry river.

At that time, she only listened to gossip and believed it.

Now that I think about it, maybe it's true.

With so many ships coming in and out of the docks, will he tolerate being exploited at all levels?

That pier in Yecheng may have been He Zong's for a long time, right? Maybe it's not just that.

Even if he didn't come forward, the person in charge must be his man.

Thinking about it like this, Ruan Jiaojiao also felt that some people were suddenly enlightened, no wonder he could receive the news as soon as she left Yecheng that day.

I'm afraid that my uncle's people just arrived at the dock to order a boat, and He Zong immediately knew about it.

also shows that she happened to meet him when she first arrived at Yecheng Wharf, and she entered his territory.

She thought that they would inevitably have to travel to and from Yangzhou in the future, and they would definitely have to dock at the wharf.

And what about their goods?

At this moment, she stood on the pier and looked at the endless sea, and she couldn't see the barren forest at all, but what came to Ruan Jiaojiao's mind was the barren forest.

After the mine was mined, it was basically useless, and it was originally bought for a transition.

Now Ruan Jiaojiao has an idea, a dock that belongs to them alone, a force that belongs to them.

If there is no road, it is to build a road.

She didn't understand many details, and she had to wait for He Zong to come back and discuss with him.

It was the end of April, and when He Zong returned, the weather had already begun to heat up.

Recently, Wei Yan's actions have been very big, and he doesn't want to hide it from anyone, and even some people who can't make up their minds will come to her or find their father.

His current behavior has made Ruan Jiaojiao have a new view of him, this person seems to have taken off his old clothes and put on new clothes.

In the past, although Ruan Jiaojiao did not have much contact with this person, she never had a good impression of him.

The eyes are high, the masters are low, there is no assertiveness, and doing things is only based on imagination, and it is never down-to-earth to do things.

Now it seems that it feels like my feet are on the ground.

If he can grow again in the future, it's not that he can't be pulled.

Ruan Jiaojiao had just driven away Wei Yan, who was humbly seeking advice, when she received a letter from He Zong, and he came back.

On the second day, Ruan Jiaojiao went out and was taken to his house by He Zong.

The first thing we said when we met, "Did you miss me?" I miss you. ”

This rough man can even talk about love?

He Zong is not a person who talks a lot, Ruan Jiaojiao has long known it from getting along these days.

He never did more than he said, which made her feel down-to-earth and reliable.

But today, as soon as she entered the door, she was hugged by He Zong, and he said that he missed her.

In the face of his hot emotions, Ruan Jiaojiao did not let him wait for long, hugged his solid back with both hands, buried her face in his chest and told him.

"I miss you too."

When you're busy, you don't have any dreams, but there's always a time to be free, isn't it?

Just as she responded, the arms holding her tightened, and soon let go of her again.

He Zong was afraid that he would hurt her lightly and seriously on his hands, and he was also afraid that if he didn't let go, he wouldn't be able to help but do something that would hurt her.

"Go in and say."

He came to her today to think of her, and he had other things to say to her.

It just so happened that Ruan Jiaojiao also had something to discuss with him.

In the study, He Zong took out the map he had drawn and explained to her in detail the situation at sea and on the island.

"It's an isolated island, and it takes 40 days to sail on one side."

It was a secluded and safe place, and no one would notice if they had made explosives on the island.

Unless they are surrounded, unless they have no ability to defend against attacks.

The two stayed in the study for a day, and even the meals were solved in the study, and when it was dark, He Zong sent people home.

"In half a month, the ship will be back."

Ruan Jiaojiao understood what he meant, they were going to Yecheng.
