Chen Kan said: "The enemy is too cunning, Shi Wen is not an opponent, I must go in person." ”

Seeing Xu Yuan, I wanted to say something.

Chen Kan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this official knows in his heart, no matter how bad it is, there are still tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chongqing and Guizhou, and if necessary, this official can still turn to the Marquis of Zhenyuan for help." ”

The Marquis of Zhenyuan is Gu Cheng, the chief soldier of Guizhou who led the troops to suppress Zhu Chun's rebellion.

Seeing Chen Kan's resolute attitude, Xu Yuan frowned and asked, "Then my lord, your marriage with Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Whatever you say, Xu Yuan just asked about the marriage, and the little eunuch shouted sharply outside the yamen: "The holy decree has arrived, and Chen Kan, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, will receive the decree." ”

The two looked at each other and walked out the door.

The lieutenants under his command have already prepared incense cases and other things, and this time it is the official holy decree that needs to be received on their knees.

Chen Kan came to kneel in front of the incense case, and the captains in the square also knelt down in unison.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: the middle man Chen Kan, prudent, diligent and supple, pure and good-natured, now there is the fifth daughter of the emperor, Princess Changning, virtuous temperament, pure filial piety, suitable room IKEA...... The two of them were ordered to marry on December 18th. ”

Chen Kan stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, muttering in his heart, did Zhu Di install surveillance around him?

I decided to go to Shuzhong in the last second, and the holy decree of the next second arrived.

It's really hard not to be suspicious.

Zhang San handed a plate of happy money covered with a red cloth to the little eunuch, and the little eunuch took the copper coin beautifully, and his face wrinkled into a bun with a smile.

The eunuchs of the Yongle Dynasty had a hard time, and they didn't dare to collect money indiscriminately.

If it weren't for the will to give marriage today, he wouldn't dare to accept Chen Kan's money casually.

"Congratulations to Lord Chen, congratulations to Lord Chen, our family wishes Lord Chen and Her Royal Highness the Princess a hundred years of happiness and an early birth of a noble son."

People smiled and said hello to themselves, and Chen Kan naturally smiled and said: "Thank you, little waiter, for borrowing your good words, next year this official will have a big fat boy with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Hahahaha, then our family will wish Lord Chen what he wants in advance, our family will go back to the palace first to restore his life, you are busy, you are busy."

When the little eunuch went out, a group of people immediately surrounded Chen Kan, and the voices of congratulations and congratulations were endless.

Looking at the bright yellow holy decree in his hand, Chen Kan's gloomy mood in the past two days has also improved a lot.

The young man has three major joys, he is promoted, he gets rich, marries his wife, and finally all of them are together.

But the most important thing at the moment is to arrest the Buddha and get justice for the eight innocent girls.

There are still two months left before getting married, which is enough.

Chen Kan was happy for a while, and then beckoned to Fang Xu and Zhang San.

After whispering a few words in the ears of the two, Chen Kan turned his head to look at Xu Yuan and said: "The Jingshi will be handed over to you, don't be afraid to be the enemy of Jinyiwei, if there is anything, go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials to find the teacher of the official, if necessary, he will take action to withstand the pressure of the court." ”

Xu Yuan's face was still a little worried, but Chen Kan's expression was extremely resolute.

......

At noon, a caravan of 100 people left the Beijing Division, boarded a merchant ship from the Yangtze River Wharf outside the Beijing Division, and headed upstream of the river.

From Beijing to Shuzhong, the fastest speed is naturally by water.

The Yangtze River is a vast and precious treasure left by nature to the Han people, without which the brilliant civilization of the Han people would have been at least half dimmed.

The merchant ship was a huge three-tiered mast sailing ship, which could hold 600 goods and accommodate more than 300 merchants, including sailors and ship bosses.

This ship is not the largest ship on the big river, but it is not small either.

There were a total of three caravans on the merchant ship, including one composed of the captains of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses led by Chen Kan.

Chen Kan's group has the largest number of people and the largest number of goods.

Of course, those so-called goods were actually all kinds of weapons that Chen Kan had brought from the Arsenal Division, including dozens of firearms, as well as two hundred tigers rushing arrows, all of which were tightly wrapped in thick wooden boxes.

The other two caravans, it is said that they also went to Shuzhong to do silk business, in the early winter, the autumn silkworms in Shu were made into finished products, they only need to buy them, transport them to Jingshi and sell them, which is several times the profit.

It is worth mentioning that the consul of one of the caravans turned out to be a young woman, and this woman went out to do business, not to mention unique, but also very rare.

As far as Chen Kan currently knows about the female businessman, only Yuncheng's widow sister runs a Hengfeng by herself, and the descendants of Chen Kan's family are all introduced by her Hengfeng.

This is the second Chen Kan has ever seen.

In the first three days, the three caravans were relatively peaceful, each guarding their own goods, and there was little communication with each other.

From the fourth day onwards, the members of the three caravans became familiar with each other and began to communicate with each other.

But with so many big men, it is easy to breed friendship and contradictions when they get together.

On this day, Chen Kan was staying in the room studying the situation in Shuzhong, when he heard a fierce quarrel outside the door.

Chen Kan put down the information in his hand a little irritably, and was about to get up to see what was going on, when a lieutenant pushed the door in.

"Big ...... Childe, it's not good, the brothers are fighting with people. ”

"Fighting?"

Chen Kan frowned, walked quickly to the splint, and sure enough, he saw a few captains under his command and the guards of another caravan being scuffling.

Moreover, reinforcements from both sides are still coming.

Seeing that the melee was expanding more and more, Chen Kan hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”

"Stop."

At the same time, there was a coquettish cheer from the other direction.

The two drank together, and the people in the melee reluctantly separated.

Chen Kan separated the crowd and came to the middle of the melee, looked at Wang Lung and Li Hu, who were in the lead, and asked, "What's the matter, why do you want to do it with someone?" ”

Wang Lung was not angry and said, "My lord, the brothers cast their nets and catch a big fish, and they will come up and grab it indiscriminately. ”

When a man on the other side heard this, he instantly argued with a red face: "You fart, that guinea fish was obviously hit by us." ”

Chen Kan was a little stunned, just a fish, it could cause a war between the two sides.

The woman stepped forward, looked at Chen Kan and frowned, and said, "This brother, please restrain your subordinates." ”

Chen Kan looked back at the woman, with a hint of pungent on her beautiful appearance.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, he indiscriminately threw the responsibility on Chen Kan's side, and Chen Kan was immediately unhappy.

He said in a deep voice: "The girl thinks this matter is our fault? ”

The red-faced man stepped forward to protect the woman behind him, and said dissatisfiedly: "It was originally the fish we caught, and the fishing net is still hanging on the fish." ”
